Invisible #5

This single photographic work is part of a photo/text series called “Invisible”. In this series I have depicted myself as a participant in fashion- and advertising-inspired images that typically represent youth, beauty, sex, and consumerism. I am interested in exploring themes of invisibility, not only as they apply to middle-age and later life, but also to the extent that individuality (along with any sense of real-life experiences, fears, emotions and thoughts) is erased by the homogeneity of slick consumer images. Text is an important element in my work; it represents unvoiced narratives.
