    Bronze in Book / Fine Art

Broken Shadow is a collection of fragmented memories. Aiming for timelessness, the images touch upon childhood, youth and adulthood. They reflect on how we relate to ourselves and our surroundings, as human beings. How our adult lives are based upon our childhood, and how we relate to our memories, hopes and fears, sexuality and dreams. The images evoke a feeling of contrast between the weight of the shadows, and the lightness of flight. In the shadows we are grounded, anchored, connected. Breaking open the shadow can reveal a beauty that hides there.
