Portraits from the serie "Heroes of Babylon" were inspired by the stories about lost heroes of Babylon. Highly stylized and oddly aestethic, these almost life-size portraits could resemble an advertisement campaign for a chic line of jewelry at first glance. However, the persons wearing these exotic gold and silver accouterments definitely appear ready for something other then a hip fashion shoot. The chosen models have been painted with and pressed into a beautiful, copper-colored, muddy sand. I strove to document a range of people on the verge of dying.
