Alessandra Norman (b. 1990, El Paso, Texas) is a Chicago-based artist whose work engages concepts of perspective and perception. Her upbringing along the US-Mexico border and alongside the advent of social media has informed her interest in examining the frameworks of perspective and in questioning the methods we use to construct meaning.
