TRANSCENDING THE IMPERMEABLE MASK
Like many of my other ideas, projects, realizations, etc., the visual representation of my current personal and creative life came to me in a dream. There I stood in front of a group of people fighting to break out of this impermeable shell - my public self - which with age and the loss of my senses have become hardened and stronger in the last few years. After I woke up, I was able to put everything into perspective and visualize the path to follow to avoid loosing myself completely and becoming the mask.
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.
