Introspection

  • Photographer
    Marlene Paez, Dominican Republic

Introspection is the dialogue of self-consciousness that results
from a profound search of meaning. This rumination takes place
in an inner space, and is therefore unnoticed by the crowded
outside world. This internal sphere is where the self-identity is
confronted with the most paradoxical and revolving thoughts.

The shadows alternate continuously with the light of
consciousness, in a state of being that is always cyclical and
changing.

Introspection is part of a transformation, because life is always
fluctuating, always on a journey from somewhere to somewhere.
Only death stops this constant revolution.

Marlene Paez is a Dominican photographer based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

She began her photographic exploration process in 2008, and has since been drawn to reveal the human being, from its individuality and spirituality to its role in society. As a result of this interest, presenting the person as a multidimensional being has become the focal point of her work.
