THE RECOGNITIONS
2004-2005
The Recognitions is a photographic project that uses portraiture to bring together a cast of characters immersed in their enigmatic situation and emotional landscape. The solitary figure in each photograph offers a pensive gaze and subtle gesture that attempts to reveal a psychological state or intimate moment. Through physiognomy and expression, each subject is depicted in their imagined world, enacting their own quiet drama, which has left them disturbingly calm, and comfortably numb. The narratives are malleable, and it is the role of the viewer to interpret them, guided by the emotive atmosphere that elucidates the complexities of self-awareness and plays with the sitters’ psychology. This series is about hope, desire, failure, solitude, daydreaming and contemplation.
