Project Description
This series aims to explore the idea of the body as an expressive symbol. The intention is to be closer to what might happens in the dream through the contortions of the body. Frightening or exciting, they carry the body to absorb the feelings of imagination during these overnight trips. Using a minimal color palette, getting closer to a pictorial representation, the photos are narrative; they invite the visitors to decipher what the model is dreaming about.Exhibitions (Excerpt)
