Artist Statement

With this series I want the viewer to be slightly disorientated by my images, not much is given away about the subject’s identity, the time, place, or what is happening in the scenes presented to you, it feels like there is a narrative but you’re only given a second’s worth. I think a lot about dreams and Deja vu, that sudden and swift feeling of familiarity and confusion. I tend to choose locations that feel timeless, open, and empty because I want my photographs to feel lonely and disconcerting and, in most images, if there is a subject, their face is not legible, and it appears that the viewer is looking into someone’s dreams or that they’re the subject of the dream watching themselves from outside their own body, both sensations occur in dreams and sleep paralysis. Shadows, lighting, and random props or colors or locations work together to push this dramatic and nonsensical feeling we get from dreams in my images.
