The Garden
2017-2018
“I could welcome you but this is not your home.”
There is a place inside us that holds our past tight, encased in shining amber. For some it is like an artifact to keep close. For others it is a mystery, we work hard to break the amber and get at what's inside to find where our darkness is stemming from. I call this place The Garden.
The Garden is a visual metaphor for trauma, sexuality and childhood. These three things intertwine as we grow and it can become increasingly difficult to understand where our darkness is rooted.
You are the only one who can save yourself.
The Garden was built on intuition, coming up from my subconscious. There is no Photoshop used to create this world.
You are looking at a dream-scape and with no perfect narrative. These images are not a puzzle to solve, they are meant to be felt. They want to show you what you have forgotten. My models are here to guide you home.
