In Light of Shadows

Photography & Art Direction: November Wong
Model: anonymous

The works presented here are the result of a profound revelation, born from an unflinching confrontation with the darker aspects of the human psyche. These pieces offer a window into the inner struggles that are exacerbated by our daily experiences. Emotions, as we know, are neutral byproducts of our environment, yet many of them are unfairly labeled as negative or undesirable. The aim of this series is to express those feelings in a way that invites viewers to question their perceptions and perhaps even find beauty and hope within the darkness.

Two dancers, who had never before met, were asked to engage in a contact improvisation and imagine themselves as a single, inseparable frequency. The resulting images were printed on fine art paper and hand-tinted with pastels using only the artists' fingers. The final result is a stunning visual exploration of the interplay between light and dark, self and other, and the fluid nature of human emotion
