Silencieux (2008/12)

Silencieux is a series of vivid tableau, created though photography and digital imaging.  The predominant theme in my work, the Mind-Body dilemma/theory, resonates throughout the images.  As it seems that every possible thing in the world has been photographed, my challenge is to create photographs of that which is un-photographable.  Through employing digital imaging techniques, I am able to create photographs that suggest potential metaphysical realities and psychological states.  These intimate self-portraits reflect the battle that often ensues between the mind and body and the tricks that they can play upon each other.  These images also portray the historical reoccurrence of the coexistence of La Femme Tragique and La Femme Fatale, where mind and body also battle with one another.
