ANIMAL GALLERY

Black and white series

This series of photographs seeks to explore the symbolic meaning of black and white through nature and animals. At its core, it is a return to the roots of photography : to light. The play between pure light, its absence, and exploring contrasts.

In many cultures, black and white are associated with life and death such as weddings and funerals…

Here, I attempt to use nature and wildlife to reflect our unconscious associations through contrasts and oppositions, like between innocence, purity, and loyalty on one side, and mystery, darkness, and death on the other.
