Identity preservation among all cultures is strongly linked to traditions. As our societies move at lights speed to keep up with our changing world, people cling to certain traditions for a sense of safety. Local traditions, as beautiful and an important source of being as they may be, shouldn’t be left unexamined.

By using simple posed images I am able to communicate a very strong statement with no space for abstractness. Although some might feel a mood of darkness looming within the images because of the subject that is being addressed, at the same time the viewer is enveloped by a strong sense of beauty and hope that somehow filters through the eyes of the models.
