With this image I tried to capture the essence of emotional struggle and the complexity of human anxiety. The woman’s expression and body language vividly portray the torment of feeling trapped and overwhelmed by invisible forces. The net symbolizes the constraints and barriers one might face internally or externally, representing how anxiety can entangle and confine.

The three pink artworks add layers of meaning and contrast. The first image with the head wrapped in petals signifies the struggle to maintain composure or hide true feelings. The second petal, isolated and delicate, represents the vulnerability and sensitivity associated with anxiety. The third, a lone leaf, symbolizes solitude or the feeling of being out of place.

With these elements Ictried to create a narrative of inner conflict and the yearning for liberation from the binds of mental distress. The use of pink hues in the artworks adds an ironic softness to the otherwise intense and raw portrayal of anxiety, highlighting the complexity and multifaceted nature of human emotions.

This surreal and visually striking image features a woman whose body is partially transformed into that of a zebra. Her head and shoulders are human, but her face merges seamlessly with a zebra’s head, creating a striking hybrid appearance. The transformation continues down her body, with her lower half adorned in zebra stripes, including a realistic zebra tail. The woman’s attire, which consists of black lingerie and stockings, adds an element of boldness and contrast to the fantastical theme. The background is white, which emphasizes the details of the transformation and the striking black and white pattern of the zebra stripes.

This artwork blends elements of human and animal forms to create a thought-provoking and fantastical image. The fusion of the woman’s body with the zebra introduces themes of duality, identity, and transformation. Zebras are often seen as symbols of balance and uniqueness, with their distinctive stripes representing individuality and the blending of opposites.

The woman’s confident pose and the surreal transformation can be interpreted as an exploration of the coexistence of different aspects of identity—human and animalistic, mundane and extraordinary. The use of black lingerie adds a layer of sensuality and boldness, contrasting with the purity and simplicity of the zebra stripes.

This image invites viewers to reflect on the nature of identity and transformation, suggesting that there is beauty and intrigue in the blending of different elements. The surreal quality of the artwork challenges traditional notions of form and invites a deeper contemplation of the fluidity of identity and the interplay between human and animal characteristics.

This surreal and ‘freaky’ image features a close-up of a woman’s face emerging from skin. Her skin is smooth and almost unnaturally flawless, with a shiny, almost plastic-like quality. Another unsettling feature of the portrait is her eyes, which are completely black, creating an eerie, otherworldly appearance. Her red lips provide a stark contrast to her pale skin and dark eyes, adding to the visual impact of the image. The background is a soft, muted blue, which serves to further highlight the unusual features of the subject.

This is one of the pieces I made to make the viewer a bit uncomfortable. I think the image evokes a sense of the uncanny, blending elements of beauty and eeriness to create a thought-provoking piece. The woman’s flawless skin and red lips evoke traditional ideals of beauty, while her black eyes and the amorphous form surrounding her head introduce an element of surrealism and otherworldliness. This contrast can symbolize the coexistence of familiar and strange, beauty and discomfort.

The black eyes can be interpreted as a symbol of mystery or the unknown, suggesting a deeper, perhaps darker, side to the subject. The skin surrounding her head adds to the surreal quality of the image, making her appear as if she is emerging from or being enveloped by an alien or dreamlike substance.

This artwork challenges the viewer to confront the boundaries between the familiar and the strange, inviting contemplation on themes of identity, beauty, and the unknown. The minimalist background ensures that all attention is focused on the central figure, enhancing the impact of her striking and unusual appearance.

This piece is mainly experimental. I wanted to evoke a sense of both harmony and discord, with the use of vibrant colors and the combination of natural and artificial elements

In this portrait, my goal was to capture the rugged and intense character of the subject. The model’s weathered face, with its deep lines and rough texture, tells a story of experience and resilience. By using a dark background and minimal lighting, I created a stark contrast that highlights the contours and details of his face. The hooded jacket adds an element of mystery and focus, drawing the viewer’s attention directly to his piercing eyes and stern expression.

The lighting is deliberately focused, creating shadows that accentuate the depth and texture of his skin, while the slight glint in his eyes adds a touch of life and intensity. This portrait aims to evoke a sense of raw authenticity and strength, portraying the subject as a figure of quiet power and introspection.

This image is a testament to the beauty found in imperfection and the stories etched into every line and wrinkle. It invites the viewer to look beyond the surface and imagine the experiences that have shaped this individual. The interplay of light and shadow not only enhances the visual impact but also suggests a complexity of character that is both compelling and profound.

This series of photos are close-up portrait that captures deeply emotional and haunting expressions of a young woman. Her face is marked with smeared dark makeup around her eyes and mouth, creating an impression of tears or distress. The focus is primarily on her eyes, which are wide open and convey a profound sense of sadness or turmoil. Her pale skin contrasts starkly with the dark, smudged makeup, and the black background further isolates her face, emphasizing the emotional intensity of the image.

The images in this series evoke powerful feelings of sorrow, despair, and vulnerability in me. With the smeared makeup I created a narrative of emotional breakdown or suffering, as if the subject has been crying or has undergone a traumatic experience. Her expression and the close-up framing invite the viewer to connect with her pain on a personal level, evoking empathy and a sense of shared human experience.

This artwork can be interpreted as a raw depiction of mental and emotional struggle. The stark contrast between her pale skin and the dark makeup enhances the visual impact, making her emotions even more palpable. The dark background and tight framing eliminate any external distractions, focusing entirely on the subject’s inner world and emotional state.

The image challenges viewers to confront the realities of mental health and the often-hidden struggles that people endure. It speaks to the universal experiences of pain and vulnerability, encouraging a deeper understanding and compassion for those who suffer silently. It’s also a personal statement against the very poor state our mental health help programs are in

This portrait is a dramatic self portrait. I am dressed in dark, period-style clothing, including a top hat and a cape. My face is made rugged and weathered, with a stern and piercing gaze directed straight at the viewer. The lighting is low and focused, casting deep shadows that enhance the texture of his skin and the intensity of my expression. The background is completely black, creating a stark contrast that isolates the subject and heightens the dramatic effect.

Originally started as a project called ‘playing with light’ the picture now exudes a sense of mystery and foreboding, reminiscent of characters from gothic literature or historical dramas. My attire and the dark, moody lighting contribute to an atmosphere of intrigue and tension. My intense, almost menacing expression suggests he is a figure of authority or someone with a dark past. The sharp contrasts in lighting emphasize the contours of my face, highlighting my serious demeanor and adding depth to his character portrayal.

This photograph could symbolize themes of power, mystery, and the enigmatic nature of human identity. The use of low key lighting and the historical costume evoke a sense of timelessness, making the viewer wonder about the story behind this imposing me-figure. It invites interpretations related to historical narratives, personal strength, or hidden darkness within a person.
