Time will Tell

I drew inspiration from the paintings of the Dutch Golden Age in creating these series. There is more than meets the eye in these portraits and still-lives. These works tell stories of loss of innocence, decay and death. They are metaphors for the feelings of the women I photographed, who were victims of sexually abuse. Feelings that are expressed by transforming them using abstraction, suggestion and symbolic elements. They are clues that help conveying an unsettling feeling in the looming darkness.
