Andron and the Paradigm

The unconscious is a vessel of repressed thoughts and desires. Within the unconscious live highly developed entities called archetypes. The shadow is the archetype of darkness; strongest where the conscious is weakest. I personified and named my shadow Andron. “Andron” is Latin for a passage or a hallway, and through this path, I am understanding a matured self. Andron is a process heavy photographic project that enabled me, as well as others, to come face-to-face with the dark unconscious. The series, Paradigm, manifested from Andron, a project that initiated the exploration of my unconscious. The self has the mobility to grow by understanding the dark thoughts and desires that live in constant repression.
