The Weatherproof Anniversarial

Zoe Alameda (b. 2000) is a multidisciplinary artist sitting and scrolling in Los Angeles. She received a BFA in Fine Arts from the University of Southern California in 2023. Combining processes of collage, painting, and sculpture, Alameda expresses a sense of longing for connection and presentness in her work. Abundance. Excess. Her works are filled with fragments of images and text that capture the overwhelming and anxiety-filled moments of everyday life. She longs for a fleeting moment that remains instead, comfort in a loss that never comes, a distraction from anything other than a distraction. She searches for a real self.
