This project explores the intricate relationship between fantasy, storytelling, and photography, emphasizing the evolution and transformation of staged imagery over time. Drawing inspiration from the Victorian tableaux vivants—elaborate, posed scenes designed to resemble paintings—the work breathes new life into this historical practice, offering a contemporary reimagining. The photographs blend elements of reality with the surreal to create a dynamic narrative space where imagination and experience collide. Set against the vast and otherworldly landscape of the Colorado Desert, the images evoke a powerful sense of ambiguity, inviting viewers to oscillate between dreamlike wonder and unsettling, nightmarish visions.
