ARTIST STATEMENT
FROM NEW ORLEANS TO BERLIN, DE.
Rebecca Yeager's artistic endeavors span both visual art and filmmaking, she advocates for thought-provoking narratives. With a strong commitment to individuality, she rejects mainstream trends in favor of meaningful expression that confronts systemic injustices. As a feminist, her work is driven by a desire to dismantle biases and amplify marginalized voices, striving to spark dialogue and inspire positive change on both small and large scales. Through intentional storytelling and cinematic exploration, the end goal of entertainment should be to foster a more inclusive and empathetic society.
