Statement

"...Two figures emerge to the foreground from a murky world that holds strange creatures, dream landscapes and translucent wings extending from the figures. Above each figure's hands hover small planets.

Behind the dominant image that conveys the quality of opposites, several stories are taking place. These sub-narratives elaborate upon the primary image, breaking down the immediate message of say, good vs. evil. These illustrate the facts as they are in life: there can be no true 'black vs. white', no matter how it may appear upon immediate inspection..."

Reviews
