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.
“Many in the community, including at times Nat himself, believe strongly that the structure of civilization itself will save them from any danger.” Daphne du Maurier’s The Birds
