Spring 2026 Cycle – Photography
Los Angeles, CA  arianazukowski.com

Jasmine & Gasoline reimagines the cyclical pattern of descent and return in the myth of Persephone.
This time, she breaks free. Through water, gesture, and intimacy with the natural world, the series traces her
escape from emotional underworlds toward a deeper sense of home within herself.

Artist Statement Biography

Ariana Zukowski is a Canadian visual artist working between the West Coast and Europe. Her practice creates photographic worlds where inner and outer landscapes blur, opening spaces to find home through imagined utopias. Blending photography, sound, and language, she builds lyrical layers shaped by gesture, abstraction, and memory. By embracing multiplicity, her work approaches personal myth as a collective mirror, remixing form and meaning through figures, cities, and natural environments. Within a naturalistic lens, these tender futures become places to rest, transform, and return to.
