text: The mask obscures one identity and manifests another. Wearing the mask of your enemy or oppressor gives you symbolic power: you can mock and humiliate those who oppress you. This is a photographic study of a collection of traditional Mexican masks from the 1950s and 60s. These 'portraits' of the masks reveal their uncanny power.
  Mirror of Identities
  Through the long passages of time, the Self becomes the Other. This series of pictures examines the relationship between the younger self and the older self. In some ways, you are the same person that you always were: but in many ways you have changed so radically, it is as if you are another person. The hypothetical meeting point of the two selves is visualised here, as if seen through a mirror.
  Out of place
  This picture is an adjunct to the series Mirror of Identity. A man stands where many had languished in despair, in a centuries-old dungeon, contemplating the view into the faraway sky. When family, society, culture, hope are all stripped away, what are we?
  VERTIGO
  Existential vertigo, as Sartre formulated it, is the dizzying awareness of our inescapable freedom. In this pair of photographs, the abstract notion of vertigo is examined by extrapolating the normal sense of vertigo. Cut loose from gravity, the visual representation of the vertiginous space can take us in any direction. The tunnel pulls us in, as if unto the depths of the earth. It is complemented by the terror of falling off the Earth, down through uncountable fathoms of space, to the moon. What if we could escape gravity's hold and catapult ourselves into the unimaginable vastness of space? This is a visual metaphor for the Sartrean concern that, released from the constraints of our social, religious, and political conditioning, we are cast into a terrifying freedom.
