As usual a wonderful piece and beautiful fragile images. The poem you chose Phenomenal Woman is the same poem I used for the procure I created for an incredible women’s charity, The Marylebone Project, in London.
It is an amazing charity that looks after and houses112 women who have been suffering a period of homelessness and crisis. Additionally we support through The Sanctuary all women in crisis in the community. We provide medical services, hot food, laundry services, welfare advice, educational classes, community, respite and empathy. The poem is a call to arms and really encapsulates women celebrating women.
Manuela, these image are fabulous! I love them so much. Honestly, I'm not always a fan of photographers incorporating old images into their work, but these are wonderful and I feel like you've achieved what so many image makers fail to do by making these works of art truly your own. <3
I totally get what you mean by incorporating old images into new photographs. I used to feel the same way, but I have really been enjoying the process and have been inspired.
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging comment!! It means a lot!
Manuela - love the double exposure using old photos and the stories behind them - made up or real. Inspiring and thought provoking. And paired with Maya Angelou's poem - so lovely!
Absolutely gorgeous, Manuela! I love old photographs too and your still lifes juxtaposed with their portraits are so poignant. And, that poem by Maya Angelou is the perfect inspiration for your project. Well done!
