Phobos

The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) defined the soul as the vital principle or essence of human beings, thanks to which they make up a certain identity, not rationally explainable from the material reality of its parts. In some cultures there is a superstition that when a photograph is taken of someone, that snapshot appropriates not only the image of the person portrayed but also their soul, attributing a magical or supernatural character to the photographic portrait. The photographic series 'Phóbos' through the juxtaposition of shadows with the photographed subject, will reveal a psychological evocation, a pulse to reason, the visual representation of the individual's irrational fear of losing soul and identity forever and ever in the depths of a dark room.
