Hall of Mirrors appears as a fictional, non-linear narrative where we witness someone's intense psychological moment.
These images refer to the ambiguous world of a woman who seems to exist in a limbo between the real and the imaginary. It's in this state of limbo that her deepest desires and fears find space to penetrate into her reality.
This woman seems absent and disconnected from reality because parallel to the world we see in the photographs there is another, an internal realm invisible to the viewer that exerts a strong influence on the character.
Like mirrors, these images echo back to us that which dwells in the deepest, darkest recesses of our soul and reflect questions asked by the character about who we are, and who, perhaps we would really want to be.
The series aims to examine preconceived notions of womanhood, their influence on our social identities and how we see and present ourselves in a society of ‘keeping up appearances’.
