Daniel Rothenberg's Artist Statement: As an autistic artist, I see and process the world in a way that doesn’t always match what others expect. My mind takes in a lot at once—thoughts, emotions, and details all overlapping, sometimes making things feel chaotic but also creating connections that others might not notice. My double-exposure work reflects this, blending multiple images the way my brain blends ideas and experiences. Being autistic means I often have to navigate the world differently, sometimes acting in ways that don’t align with how I truly feel or how others think I should respond. But when I create, I don’t have to filter or adjust—I just let the images take shape. It’s one of the few times my mind and body work in sync without overthinking. I hope these images don’t just capture a moment but tell a story—one that’s open to interpretation, just like the way we all see the world a little differently.
About Autism Acceptance Month: April is dedicated to promoting the acceptance and inclusion of individuals on the autism spectrum in all aspects of life. It encourages meaningful dialogue and recognizes autism as a natural part of the human experience.
