The agony of Love is a photo series about the despair within the human experience and how people struggle with relationships within the chaotic environment of the world. The viewer is introduced to a couple on the verge of separation. It is a close-up intimate portrait where the characters face a major life obstacle. Instead of the obstacle strengthening their relationship, it has driven them apart. They are forced to deal with their sorrow as individuals instead of as a couple.
The series blends the lines between fine art, narrative tableau, and movie stills.
