Most of us thrive on human connectivity. We want to be wanted, we're unhappy when we're not. So much of our relationship with others is premised upon our fear of isolation...of being alone...being apart from who and what we love...our fear of losing something or someone. What happens when the other side of the connection is gone? Unresolved emotions, high-fives left hanging, hearts that keep searching for something which has already left. We're left in limbo until something takes up the now empty space.
My portraits are a looking glass into ourselves and into others exploring concepts of isolation, navigating through the aftermath of what is left when something vital to ourselves leaves or is taken away. They serve as connections to others traveling through similar waters in an effort to better understand processes of healing. Our desire for community and connectivity lives as a bridge between us and reminds us that we are not alone.
