My Photo Project “What Is Beyond The Next Door?”

ADVERTISEMENT

The series Beyond the Next Door is a series revolving around my intimate relationships while also reflecting on the female perspective. I’m exploring ideas of vulnerability and discovering oneself while being in a consuming relationship. Through the use of lighting and objects, I distort my subject’s likeness including my own to exemplify the dominating and suffocating nature relationships possess. By having her subjects look into the camera she invites views to see the power in being in a vulnerable state.

Ideas that an impuissant woman can also be strong in a consuming relationship is a power dynamic that I’m continuously exploring.

    This dude right here? He works as a Community Manager at Bored Panda. Has no back-story, cause his spine works just fine. He writes about himself in third-person, and in first-person about others. Fell in love with storytelling and cannot let that love go. Now, he's here to help you make your own story simply beautiful. Secretly makes cute music samples and writes stories in the dark that nobody has ever heard of before.

    Mediocre photography served on a plate of pompous rhetoric which expresses your disappointment in your "dominating and suffocating nature relationships " isn't art.

    Sad that this panda has such 'distinguished taste' in art in their yet can't even show their face or include a bio. Computer troll with no critical feedback that adds to the artists experience or conversation.
