Personae 2 (Single)
DESCRIPTION
We only let others see those aspects of our true selves that we (consciously or unconsciously) choose to let them see. Even then they are filtered and diffused, and presented in imperfect, discreet portions rather than as a whole. And when we form an impression of another person, we can only ever see them imperfectly, as through a keyhole, but we build up an image of their whole from those fleeting impressions.
AUTHOR
People interest me. From early psychology studies I became curious as to how the unconscious interacts with, and influences, everyday behaviour and activities. Through photography I try to bring these interactions and influences into view; if not explicitly, at least implicitly. The human mind, and therefore our behaviour, is largely driven by factors and forces we often can’t identify. Psychoanalysis and psychotherapy strive to understand these factors by bringing them into everyday consciousness. One way of doing this is to observe a person’s interactions with objects and symbols, however disconnected to their everyday experience that may be. The Rorschach Inkblot Test is an example of this. My images are observations of people interacting with items and environments which give some insight into their inner life.
