>Through the Unconscious is a photo series that explores self-perception, reality, the unconscious, and the dream world. Through my photography, I examine the fragility of identity and the ways we perceive both ourselves and others. How do we see the world, and how are we seen in return?
Inspired by twentieth-century surrealist theory, this series delves into the unconscious mind, illogical juxtapositions, and hidden desires. Rooted in psychoanalysis, surrealism embraces psychic automatism—a technique that channels the subconscious in the creative process. My work embodies this concept, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion.
By tapping into dreamlike and surreal imagery, Through the Unconscious challenges viewers to reconsider their perceptions, inviting them to explore the complexities of identity, emotion, and the unseen forces shaping our experience of the world.
