“SACRIFICE”
Serves as a visual devotional to women enduring, and who are survivors of intimate abuse. Specifically those subjected to the perfidious nature of cultural misogyny.
These beautiful women are unarmored gladiators, literally trapped in an arena with a ferocious lion.
The image was meant to depict strength in weakness and bravado during a time of great vulnerability.
I wanted “Sacrifice,” to bring awareness to defenceless women everywhere. Women confined to cages of solecism; discarded and subjected to emotional degradation.
Imprudent words are the invisible fusillade that infiltrate, decimating the mental fortitude of its victims.
A contentious episode could feel apocalyptic to anyone having to fight for the perpetuity of their dignity, and possibly even their life.

“Memento”
“Memento”
Displays the mysterious contradiction of internal versus external realization.
It juxtaposes the exposition of the mundane behind a clandestine reality.
Memento exhibits an incongruous subject usually hidden from view, and presents it to a curious audience.
