Naked Stills (2009)

Yoga inspired this series. The project uses the asanas (postures) to explore yoga from the inside out. The asanas are a vessel; a shape into which the body is poured.


Yoga means union; to join and it is this union that underlies the visual exploration in these photographs. Several unions are taking place:


The naked female form is protected by a transparent layer of material. Concealing reveals more.


The juxtaposition of a still life with a figure, an interplay between the animate and the inanimate.


The power of surrender, being strong and vulnerable at the same time.
