soliloquy

The independent modern woman is described in tones of perceptively lyrical
and surreal feeling throughout the series, with the mood of the central
character filling the air.
Each photograph encourages a sense of space, context and story.
The cool and warmth of the furniture touched by the character shape accents
which subtly stimulate the viewer’s sense of intuition.
The effects of multiple exposure or post-production do not go beyond the
photographic range, and are used to pass on her absentminded feeling, her
presence and illusions.
The fiber between her consciousness and unconsciousness, or her mood of
purpose and apathy, are captured by the title “soliloquy”, the photos
showing a modern woman taking herself in.
