The first in a series entitled “Life”, through which I wish to capture a moment in the life of the sitter: the specific time and place (both physically and mentally) of their current state. I am continuously inspired by the cinematic tableau, representations of moments captured like stills from a film. A Hiatus if you like: "a pause or gap in a sequence, series, or process". But life doesn’t work that way. There is never just one moment; every moment is fleeting, interconnected with the one just passed and the one to come. And when all those moments accumulate into an emotional state so overwhelming that it can no longer be contained, then comes the rupture. That is the essence of what I have strived to captured in this image, the very moment of rupture.
