Submission Photography

Human Condition

This series of photographic self-portraits is about existential anguish and alienation, and also an attempt to emphasize the human factor in a deadening commodified society. The nude body functions as a metaphor for truth and honesty; being naked (in a metaphoric sense) means that you are not hiding anything, that you are not pretending. The images hint that by facing isolation, darkness and negativity one can ultimately find light, spirituality, a purpose in life. As Soren Kierkegaard once said:

In order to swim one takes off all one's clothes-in order to aspire to the truth one must undress in a far more inward sense, divest oneself of all one's inward clothes, of thoughts, conceptions, selfishness etc., before one is sufficiently naked.
