Artist Statement:
In this piece, I explore the concept of dreams and nightmares. The line between a nightmare and a dream is fine; oftentimes a blissful reverie will morph quickly into something haunting and terrifying. In this photograph, I wanted to showcase this feeling. I used medium format film, playing with double exposures and dramatic lighting to emulate the fragmented vision of a dream.
