THE COLLECTION

The Collection is a photo-based project that investigates the subconscious through automatism. From the early 1920-30s artists like Salvador Dali use surrealism to help pioneer notions of the unconscious mind. This method often used in drawing and paintings is being repurposed through the photographic medium with these works. This series of photographs brings forth my dreams, memories, fears, and trials through vivid, dreamlike images. Each image tells a story about me and my outlook on life. This has led to a level of deep introspection and insights that have been proven to be beneficial in the healing process. In these works, I explore the concept of masking and unveiling myself as I reflect on culture, history, and community.
