I have been creating works on the theme of love for many years. And I am interested in how those who love each other can be attracted to each other. I feel as if they were originally one being. Like mother and child. To keep them together, I put them in ice and photographed them. Their appearance changes one after another, each existing only for a moment. But it seems eternal. Eventually they melt, mix, and become one being.
Photographer Hal brings complete strangers to his confined, crucible like spaces only to convey his continuing theme of ‘love of the couple’. “I am currently seeking new dimensions in portrait photography by challenging the majestic theme of mankind, defined through love.” Photographer Hal’s latest project is called Flesh Love All, which captures not only the couples but also all the surroundings in vacuum sealed package to create an image where everything in the world becomes one.The photographic location is the most important place for them.
