Proserpina

Proserpina is an ancient Roman Goddess based on Persephone from Greek Mythology. She spends half of her life in hell and half on earth. These images do not include physical self-portraits, but rather imply my presence. These images looking out from caves are about my having to hide my true self from others. They not only reflect my feelings of isolation but my views on how society views those who don’t fit in to their tight constructs and how society as a whole works to make us all fit their ideals instead of fostering and celebrating each persons individuality.
