The Seven Deadly Sins • From a psychological point of view, the idea of the sins (deadly because they can “kill” the divine spirit present in all men and women) can be represented by displaying the specific sin on a plank on one side and the “other” (or, rest of the “normal” world) on the opposing plank.

They Will Be Them • Our cultural response to males behaving badly is “boys will be boys”, and I often witness my sons’ affection for aggressive play with undertones of power and violence. That said, I’m also struck by their sensitivity, sensuality, and by their fascination with nature.

The Plantation Boy • The whole process creates an illusion, and then a rethink of the original conversation. A new dialogue and new scenes are instigated. The viewers will now be lured to form their perception and storyline or to develop a new conversation from what they see.

Stills • My photographs suggest stories but more importantly, they ask the viewer to participate in their own storytelling. Some objects possess a charged powerfulness to me. Often it is an interaction of the objects with people. Such as a tool worn with use.
