A solo exhibition by Isabella Baquerizo aka @awyeahizzy (New York City, NY)

Curated by Jessica Todd

Note to self: is an art exhibition illustrating my personal notes and my closest friends’ notes inside the notes app.

I always want to capture conversations with strangers, overshared feelings and the beauty of every-day-moments. They provoke the most profound ideas and inner thoughts. I write these down, illustrate them, or journal about them. I love revisiting these moments or feelings years later, remembering what I was going through or how much I’ve ~grown~. To discover that my friends do the same thing made me feel so human.

Even though these notes are deeply personal and specific to their unique experience, by illustrating them, it gave them a new meaning. A shared, intimate and vulnerable feeling that is now universal.

Thank you to all of my friends for sharing your secret inner thoughts, your “notes to yourselves.” I love you.
