OBSCURA, the exploration of a new series of pictures speaking to the hidden and secretive aspects of a life lived behind a mask or disguise due to the fear of exposure and the hesitancy to look at the self without occlusion. The undisclosed or inaccessible aspects of a life make for a mystery that embodies tension and a desire to look closer to decode the appearance of the esoteric or hidden.

What sits beyond or behind the apparent exterior, the façade, is shadowed and misunderstood or not seen at all.

Revealing is an act of radical courage. Such a revelation can provoke and question everything.

The mere act of the unseen is both intriguing and exciting with perhaps a hint of danger as the imagined remains just that in the eye of the beholder.
