Reciprocity
Installation of 16 framed gelatin silver prints

Reciprocity is an installation of portraits loosely based on a Surrealist piece in which all of the subjects’ eyes are closed. The ensuing gestures are poignantly and vulnerably expressed, each person isolated in a moment of quiet reflection. The grouped subjects are simultaneously aware and unconscious of each other, floating in a dialectic space between presence and memory. The group of women and the group of men rest beside each other in sightless yet sensual contemplation, each group framing an empty center.
