Kalli Bellou
Phobias (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Phobias: It was back in 2014 when I started working on a series of portraits. Unexpressed feelings of anger, pain and fear emerged out of the blue. The truth is I had always been a reserved person and didn't like to talk about my feelings. Fortunately, things have changed a little bit now.
As a person who believes in reincarnation, and parallel universes, sometimes I wonder whether the faces that appeared before my eyes were imaginary or real - maybe faces or feelings from other lives.
