“In this triptych photography piece I wanted to highlight how as people get older their inner childhood creativity starts to recede into them throughout most adult jobs. And their outside demeanor becomes cold and sad. In the first and last photos you can see that inside creativity bursting and creating an open wound of inner childhood happiness. The middle piece shows how repetitive and lifeless most adult jobs are. Through this piece you can clearly see how depressing growing up can be.”
