I took these photographs with my eyes closed. By that, I don't mean that I lowered my lids over my pupils to prevent light form transmitting the images to me. Rather, these photographs were taken through an imaginary filter that reveals what is there to be seen in addition to - or in spite of - the bare images themselves.
Although I took these pictures mostly during the day, they contain nocturnal elements that suggest the sensation of simultaneously being awake and asleep. They document my encounters with scenes that felt intense, sometimes even and strange, yet also oddly familiar. Perhaps they capture dreams that I have yet to experience. Or maybe they seen familiar because I have dreamed of them before. I am not entirely sure about the meaning of these pictures; my subconscious may be trying to get the upper hand.
