All images share the dimensional elements of 16', 24', and 8'

24'x16'

Archival Ink Jet

This series of faces has many interpretations and meanings. Hidden in groups, people can be dehumanized or de-personized. However, when standing alone, we remember each voice, each face.

Hidden Faces in Stone - Somewhere in Europe

Screaming Faces - Photographed in the Jewish History Museum in Berlin

Remains of the Wall

24'x16'

A reminder of the prison the Germany used to be for many of its people.

Suffering Triptic

each image: 16'x8'

Horizontal lines resemble the previous image and its vertical bars. This piece is meant to remind the viewer of prison, suffering and enslavement.

Hidden Man

24'x16'

Some people see him and others do not. Such is life. The darker figure on the right in this abstract image is revealed, when closely examined, as a sort of hunchback man walking alone in an abyss.

Solitude Triptic

each image: 16'x8'

This piece is meant to evoke feelings of loneliness and solitude. What it may be like to experience something so terrible that a life becomes darkness with only a shred of light - hope.
