The Procession of Spectres engages with vast landscapes to
examine the fragmentary nature of the human condition and the
emergence of self.

This body of work represents a step from behind the veil of ideas
and techniques to find earnest revelations of my struggle to be
whole with my fragmented sense of self. It is a reach for
connectivity with others and a reconciliation with the stabbing
isolation, which is necessary for creating work where one is
exposing their inscape* and physical form to as little interference
as possible.

The images are from a period where I experienced an awakening
from a psychological disappearance — a loss of personality and its
driving forces — an eclipse of individuality.
