Female Founders_Soleil Magazine_Iss5
Editor In Chief- Svetlana Blasucci Art Director- Tatiana Ayazo A magazine that isn’t just something to look at. A safe place to be free with your words and art. Soleil started as Clinic Magazine but changed to be closer to the sun. Light is in every word, image and line created in each issue. Ask questions, we welcome them. There are so many unseen artists and my mission is to bring them to the light. Expose them even if they don’t want to be. Challenge them and ask the real reason why art found them. We forget sometimes and get jaded by the recognition. I wanted to make something sprinkled with a little bit of this and that. Every theme falls under a category people tend to not appreciate. Soleil Magazine is for the underdogs. I spend most of time finding artists through the biggest artists. It’s amazing what you can find on Instagram, it’s like a dictionary for artists, just got to find them.

I. I also tried language with my
photography. I was in the
photo lab and the phrase
PRAYPREY dawned on me. I
was working with an image of
an intense woman that I photographed,
and it appeared like
she was hunting. The placement
did not work as well as I
thought. However, a couple
weeks prior, my dad gifted me
a brown mink coat that he purchased
at an auction for 10.00$.
I thought it was an impressive
piece of fashion but definitely
did not wear it.
The coats are all representations
of my experience. They deface
value, they are aggressive,
historical, animalistic and
controversial. Are we the hunt or
hunted? I always thrift the coats,
again, repurposing and playing
with their historical meaning
and arousing my own. The fur
coats trajectory on me was so
deep that it pushed me outside
the confines of photography
and was the catalyst of my
current exploration. I began
doing performance work, first
with others and the coats, later

My mom told me to sell it, she
feared animal activist would
throw paint on me. I reluctantly
took the thing because I felt bad
and left it in my old apartment
in a closet on the east side.
When I was in the lab, working
with these words, and the photograph,
I had a moment. I ran
to my old apartment, opened
the closet, grabbed the balled
up mink coat, and printed the
phrase PRAYPREY over and over
again down the back of the
coat. I didn’t even know why, I
just knew I had to do it.
myself. I was still hiding behind
others - behind the camera that
I did not possess, but with time,
I became the performer, and to
this day, have been pushing
myself within performance in
ways I never even fathomed.
I did a site specific project called
“Cyphers” where I placed big
bold type on my back and had
strangers document me with
a disposable camera. I wrote
NOTFORSALEFORNOTSALE on
my back, in Las Vegas, for
instance. It was my first fusion of
photography and performance.
