In other words, what happens when the dream (blurred image kept in the bottom of the mind) reaches the ‘real’, what happens when we articulate an abstraction through words and images. I sent a letter to about 100 women (from different nationalities, ages and social backgrounds) asking them to tell me about their dream, fantasy, child secret or obsession... After interviewing the women who agreed to participate, I photograph each of them in an installation of her own story. In total, I aim to realise a series of between 40 and 60 images. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Second-role-(work-in-progress)/58445 In this new project, I intend to work on the link between a dream and its owner’s reality.

Together, we researched a number of unconventional phobias, through looking at their scientific backgrounds and written accounts of those affected. I have presented four allegoric images from the series, all of which convey intriguing but surprisingly common phobias, conceived through traumatic experience. I designed the scenes of ‘Scriptophobia’ and ‘Anemophobia’ with a lack of human presence. They project the idea of desolation after a implied period of drama, where the tension between elements in the space gives an indexical nature to the fear. On the tableaux ‘Neunophobia’ and ‘Leukophobia’, the subjects are faceless and depersonalised. The human presence offers the concept of a symbol, in other words, they incarnate the fear, they are phobias. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Panophobia/58452 The series ‘Panophobia’ was realised in collaboration with a writer named Vincent Stephen.
