Everyday becomes a zone of boredom. The "everyday" is dominated by social media. Everyday we shoot and snap, upload and download. Everyday we sink deeper into social media addiction, addicted to the very power that controls and uses us to it own financial ends. We become invested in the idea that divestment of certain rights (to privacy, for instance) are necessary in order for us to profit from social media.

It becomes essential to share your everydayness in a fictionalized space within the fictionalized parallel world. Seen through a zoologist's lens, this

 

"Everydayness" series reveals anthropomorphic creatures in a fictional urban setting in a society that sees itself as utopian in nature. In a compilation of photographs documenting everyday life and routines, teens taking selfies, elders contemplating protests, 
metro stations, etc., the construction of a cityscape emerges. Another dimension to the urban reality is the digital platform. For this series of thread drawings on fabric, Molina explores the contradiction and confluence of space and action in any society.The modernist model demands a new space within the social space itself. The intention of using thread to create this series speaks to a a woman's tradition and role in a culture dominated by hegemonic masculinity. The softness and delicacy of the medium dignifies a woman's opinion and presence in the social space.
