Through self-portraiture, this series invites the viewer into a world of imagination and fairy tales. The images depict a fantasy world in which the figure is caught in a moment of isolated contemplation. It is a mirror to personal inner experience, a visual recreation of my unconscious, like a half forgotten dream that articulates emotion rather than action. Inside my dreams, I am someone else. I create characters and alter egos, which I present as recognizable archetypes. The figure inside the image often looks away from the viewer, the face hidden by a turn of the body or by a mask. I hope the viewer will imagine themselves inside the fairy tale, and interpret the narrative of the image as one might interpret folklore, searching for hidden meaning inside the story.
