"UNWANTED: A Visual Chronicle of Rejection"
By Tina Winterlik, aka Zipolita
In "UNWANTED," artist and photographer Tina Winterlik, known as Zipolita, presents a powerful exploration of the emotional toll of modern job hunting. This project features a collection of screenshots documenting her job rejections, accompanied by a striking self-portrait and the word "UNWANTED" prominently displayed. The singular "REJECT" serves as a visceral reminder of the mental burden that repeated rejection inflicts on job seekers.
Through this work, Winterlik confronts the feelings of frustration, self-doubt, and alienation that many face in an increasingly impersonal job market. The project highlights the psychological impact of a process that often feels dehumanizing, giving voice to the silent struggles of those navigating unemployment and job searching.
"UNWANTED" invites viewers to reflect on how society values individuals based on their employment status and encourages a broader conversation about mental health, resilience, and the importance of community support. By sharing her experiences, Winterlik hopes to foster empathy and understanding for those enduring the often isolating journey of seeking work.
