Dual Tendency
This series questions the duality of the human condition. What makes a human evil? Is there such a thing as an evil human being? Is the villain made or born? We all try to deliver acts of kindness from the good in our hearts, however, we always seem to receive temptation when evil takes over, even if it is just for a second. This series is inspired by the works of Dieter Appelt. This inspiration involves the concept of good versus evil. The images are a performative presentation through the human expression questioning the evilness of the human being and its existence. With developing ideas around human expression, the artist uses a performative aspect to deliver an exaggerated sense of how he feels toward the human condition. The artist continues to use a studio environment to control dramatic lighting to further emphasize his thoughts and feelings. This photo series was a guide in defining how human beings result in evil and why we manage to stay that way.
