Abstract

Icons have been made of the saints of religion, but seldom of the congregation. In an effort to transcend human frailty, religious dogma and philosophical schemes often trivialize humanity to a row of paper dolls. My work stresses the importance of the individual in their relationship to metaphysics, philosophy is much like x-rays or infrared light – invisible, yet ever-present. My thesis works are portraits with metaphysics made visible by the camera, but not allowed to overpower the humanity of the subject.
