I captured Julia embodying the emotions I was having at the time when I photographed her in my dress. I created permanent representations of my memories and feelings, which I had used to try to push away. I'm able to see my feelings in a beautiful way in these photos which make more sense to me. The different moods in colors represent the cross between looking back and going forward and how hazy that can feel inside.
I use mirrors a lot in my work, and used a broken mirror to capture different parts of David's figure. I had little control over what was shown in the reflections which I found symbolic of memories.
