EPHEMERALITY. CHAPTER 2. I ONLY EVER WORE BLACK.
This series is from a chapter of work that is defined as a confessional of sorts. A personal series of self-portrait images derived from the idea of Ephemerality - a transitory personal moment that has passed and yet still has a significant impact in the evolution of the identity. The series of images is a journey on a solitary path combined with the idea of constant regeneration and evolution. The project attempts to open a window into the human psyche along with identifying the complexities of strength and fragility drawn from my own experiences and moments that have passed. By the use of light, patterns and contrasting tones to explore the idea of identity expression and to contribute to a pivotal role in creating a private purgatory deep in emotion. This is the pursuit of being defined, a self-depiction of interpretation of an ever adapting identity in an ever-changing landscape.
