Monster Portraits Is it just me or do you feel the disconnection too? Are you afraid just as I am? I may never know the answer for I am too shy to ask. Fear. Loneliness. Despair. Anxiety. These are the feelings that describe our times the best. We pretend to be okay but every single one of us vulnerable and fragile. We want to be love but we are too afraid to connect with someone. The vicious circle of expectations and silence is omnipresent. Deformation of the body proportions serves as a metaphor for worry, anxiety, fear and silence. The alienating masks were created from old Financial Times by papier-mâché technique. The two models barely knew each other before the shooting and didn´t see each other much during the session. What was intended to be a message about isolation ended up being a silent observation of two human beings getting to know each other without seeing each other. There is hope after all.
