Artists statement:
"I grew up in the theater and story house as a kid, and between everyday life spent a lot of time dreaming inside my head. I’m fascinated about the idea of what reality is?"
“My Little Realities” presents the small taste of this ongoing experience. These photography series embody the theatrical narratives that both recreate and capture the moments from living fiction that evoke the beauty of daily life in vignette and humanity in landscape.
