"I felt like I was in A Dream , to live Somewhere Between The Real and the surreal, with the only guidance in the form of news, stories, hearsay, and The Changes I have observed around me is happening from day to day. "

"Originally , I thought only the new position of Lady Lilith , by Dante Rossetti and Waited For the decisive moment, the evening light turned golden. However, when I took the picture, rather than hold a mirror as Lady Lilith does, I grabbed my phone, which allows you to become A Sign of self-Reflection and communication in us to stay in contact in the insulation.

"heard The Music from this time-or Film soundtrack, and watched movies and documentaries.

"I studied the pose and emotion, which radiates a selected image or painting, and, of course, gave me The Time , by The Image processing.

"This image was inspired by The Movie Pulp Fiction , directed by Quentin Tarantino . I wanted to re-Film this iconic poster, with objects representative of the today. I put it with the title of Real Fiction because of the many surreal, tragic, and sometimes sensational stories that keep flooding our feeds. "

"I saw The Vampire movie, Only Lovers Left Alive , directed by Jim Jarmusch , The Night before the photo. I also felt it reflected the current climate, few people go out during The Day and in conditions of Isolation , as the character of Adam. I recreate the opening scene and surrounded me with books of fiction and dreams, a comment on the surreal, dreamlike world, sometimes I feel like I, and others, are in. ""Inspired by The soul of The Rose , by Waterhouse, this image is from the series was sparked by my desire to smell up at the end of spring flowers, but all I had was a withered Rose . ""I spent The Day in the sun through my window, clutched my broken disco ball, in The Hope that The Right considerations, all while blasting tunes from artists such as Sister Sledge , Blondie and Chic. There is a home screening of Saturday Night Fever followed. ""Some days are blue. Picasso's Blue Period came from his fall into depression. The theme in his Femme aux Bras Croisés, who could it be, a prisoner of the Saint-Lazare hospital-prison In Paris , wearing a blank expression, has been through much suffering and in a deep and dark spell. This blank stare, and the Isolated State was something I create in relation to them and was looking for a new to. ""This Was inspired by the character of the Pris in The Film Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott . Today, thoughts about The Future , constant and full of uncertainty. This movie was released in the year 1982 and then in The Future , in 2019. In many ways, it's the importance of Being Human in a watchful world, something that life in resonance with me in our current state of re-evaluation of our options and data entry. evaluates ""I had a walk through The Streets of Paris through my window, through The Words of Hemingway. Some days are overwhelmed accompanied by fatigue and a head full of noise, with longing for inner peace and Air . ""I wanted to sound My Own version of the wonderful Portrait of Meryl Streep by Annie Leibovitz , but with items that I use on a regular basis, like a mask. The out-of-focus-toothbrush and toothpaste in the foreground are a reference to the lens a mirror is in the bathroom and the viewer image my mirror. ""I wanted to explore the symbolism of the touch in the current climate, with the many warnings, to touch The Face and keep for at least 2 m [6 ft] spacing to the other. This Portrait required a very hands-on approach in which I decided to take you to print The Image on the screen and experimented with blue tint Printing . ""Gerhard Richter -works have always been an inspiration for me, from a young age. Ironically, The Face hidden in front of the camera. For this Portrait I decided to be, without a costume, and in order to create this brush-paint-effect with lip balm and cling film. ""This Portrait was inspired by The News that all of the necessary orders from Amazon had been suspended in France, but also by The Greek myth of Pandora, your curiosity and released, disease, death and misery over The World of a mysterious box given to her by Zeus. She hurried to close the dialog box, realised but there was something left in there, it felt different. As The Box opened Once More , The Last thing that fluttered, full of light and spirit, to spread a feeling of calm about the previous panic and pain. This light was hope. And hope is A Gift that we have the people, flowing through our collective veins, urging us to Keep Going , while filling us with a knowing that this too will pass. "
