A quiet, deeply grounded portrait of a woman holding her childhood self close: disillusioned, but not disconnected from the softness that made her. This pivotal work marks a turning point in Vallières’ practice, moving from portraiture toward staged scenes that explore identity, memory, and the selves we carry with us.
UNBECOMING PART 1 marks a new direction in Amélie Vallières’ practice: the culmination of more than six months of research, experimentation, and a growing desire to move beyond the traditional portrait. These works explore the messy, tender, chaotic process of becoming ourselves: the identities we inherit, the ones we outgrow, and the ones we are still learning to inhabit. Part 1 lays the foundation for the larger UNBECOMING collection, with Part 2 to be unveiled in spring 2027.
