Finalist L’iris d’Or in Cannes
If the fool would only persist in her folly she will become wise (W. Blake).
Please permit me to present this fool and her folly.
At the age of twelve this fool made her first photo and from that moment I found my folly. In short I don’t make images that are just pleasing to the eye. Yet I strive to scratch below the surface and leave an imprint that extends beyond the realm of cursory but provides an elegant reverse angle on a world consumed by fear and hatred of all, that is unknown.
I feel this project, aesthetically as well as regarding the content, engenders discussion and encourages mutual cultural respect, acceptance of diversity as well as an examination of the role women in our post 9/11 society.
As a finalist of the prestigious Sony World Photography Awards the series will be on exhibit in Le Palais des Festivals in Cannes Frabce from 21 till 25 of April 2008.
