The Idea for “Awakening The Energy: Recharging”
Awakening The Energy: Recharging - was the starting point for this series of photoshoots documenting my own process of awakening the energy in order to break through the impermeable shell.
The idea behind this session was to amass as much energy as possible through movement and transcend the limitation of my physical body.

The Idea for “L'artiste à Deux Têtes”
The idea for l'artiste à deux têtes photos came to me while viewing the photos from the “Inside Out” photoshoot. For this “Awakening The Energy” photos, I was trapped inside my own bubble and trying to recharge myself as much as possible as to “break through” the impermeable shell. Because of the material I was using as a shell and the marked and distinct shadows this creating with the lighting, the photos reminded me images from Cocteau’s movies. After going through these photos, I decided I wanted to explore further the idea - this time on purpose - and, do a series of Cocteau-like portraits of myself to go with these photos.

I will be sharing, with those interested, some of the Cocteau-like shots from “Inside Out” and future shoots on the subject in The Bare Canvas - a private virtual viewing room.
The Idea for “Awakening The Energy: Inside Out”
Awakening The Energy: Inside Out - is the second session from the Awakening The Energy series. After shooting “Recharging”, I thought it would be interesting to play with a “physical shell” rather than just an imaginary one. The large plastic bag I used for these photos not only provide a visual aid for others but more importantly, it helped a great deal in recreating this “bubble” which was both suffocating and isolating, as well as, protective and comforting.
