Mere Mortal
'Mere Mortal' refers to being nothing more than destined to die, suggesting that we cannot comprehend more, such as the meaning of existence. From this, the project explores the human condition; the way humans deal with the fragility of their own life. The middle class subjects hold no religious beliefs and they seem uncomfortable in their understanding of mortality, accepting but also dismissive. Constructed in the subject's personal space, natural light illuminates them as shadows hint at the unknown. The moment of self reflection is in a doubtful glance. The camera immortalises them in a state of disillusion. In the gaze, a quiet sadness and uncertainty lingers towards this ambiguous subject; something they all possess but will not talk about.
