Bittersweet
The impetus behind Bittersweet is centred on the fabrication of reality and the photograph as a vicarious object of desire. Bittersweet explores lives of characters living within their own delusions; repercussions from their penchant to desire a life they can not have, their desire for new realities. The narratives behind the photographs are parables that speak to the delusional agency of a photograph, its illusion of other worlds, and constructed realities, ones that are dreamt of but can never truly be obtained. 'Bittersweet' alters the spectators perception of the real world, revealing the paradoxical nature of the medium.
