This triptych is created from three photos I have taken at various points of my travels.
"a little moment of light and joy"
The first photo I took over summer. I love the effects of direct sunlight in photography. I like the movement of the little girl in the picture, she looks carefree and in her own world. It is a little moment of light and joy. We are all beings of light and joy on some level, we just need to believe this and find this within ourselves. This is what this photo means to me.
"reality confusion"
Similarly, the photo on the right features a little girl. This brings the viewer back to the real world with a light thump. The photo is realistic in colour unlike the other, and we can see a more detailed view of her in that moment. The other, in comparison now seems superficial and shallow. The photo on the right is more complex. What is she thinking? Who is she? Where is she from? What was happening in her life when this photo was taken? Questions arise. Life isn't simple. Confusion and hardship gets in the way of our little light-hearted childhood self prancing in the summer sun.
The central photo breaks these opposing yet similar photos up. It is about dreaming and philosophy. It is also lurid like the first.
