Between Faces

We instinctively search for faces. We look for eyes, expressions, and clues that help us understand who someone is. In these photographs, that search is interrupted.

Created through movement, the images obscure the very thing we most want to see. For a brief moment, identity slips away and something less tangible takes its place. The subjects become anonymous, yet somehow more universal.

Without a face to guide us, we are left with gesture, energy, memory, and projection. We begin to fill in the missing pieces ourselves.

Perhaps that is what a portrait has always been.
