You Humble Me

The series is about relationships. Being human means being dependent on one another, always. Relationships do not necessarily mean self-sacrifice, self-sacrifice does not mean addiction, and dependence doesn't have to be destructive. Love is a constructive force.

 

 

This is a series of five oil paintings and a sculpture where completely different relationships are portrayed equally. In the alliterative titles I've hidden the actual relationship between the people I photographed and later painted.
