entry description
This series portrays the human presence only through its physical objects in each image. At the same time humans are absent or invisible. The animals are still animals by keeping their animal behavioral traits but the border between remains fluid. Perhaps a symbol and representation of co-existence and how the human presence transcends into the animal kingdom in our world. The images are dreamlike and imaginative in nature and are surrounded by a mystique created and enhanced by the light, a feeling of “what if...”, from which the viewer is allowed to create his or her own story.about the photographer
