This exhibition, entitled Portrait, reassesses traditional portraiture by expanding it to depict body language. There is much to read in a person's body language, following the lines of individual gestures, posture and occupation of space, while deliberately avoiding the face. These pictures are an attempt at investigating the negative and positive spaces created by the figure within its surrounding as well as its relation to others; an intimate reading of how a person appears/is in a moment in time.
