My “Life in Miniature” work revisits the theme of “Family” in the context of fruits and vegetables taking on the role of family. The miniature furniture adds a familiarity people can relate to while the juxtaposition creates an air of mystery and restraint. I want this work to challenge the viewer’s boundaries and experiences for their disclosure and acceptance of family. I prefer to work in black and white because it strips the image down to its basic form and the essence of light and shadow.
