Stage of Mind

The series began with self-reflection. It has allowed me to ask myself who I really am and share moments of my life. I am constantly questioning my identity and contemplating my existence. This remains a common theme throughout my work. My photographs are reconstructions of my psychological landscape. The scenery is where I see myself in my imagination. It is a representation of social relations and the various emotions I went through. When I am at work, I handcraft every element in the scene to materialize my emotional experience - a visualization of my inner self so to speak. Last but not least the centerpiece; a personification of myself in the form of a model. This completes a scene of my inner landscape. It is a theatrical description of my life story recorded in a form of photography. Once the scene is captured, the scene is completely demolished and my studio is empty once more. The process of destroying the scene that I created allows me to transcend my emotions. I analyze and observe myself from creation to destruction.
