In 2014, I planned, styled, and created one thought-provoking photograph per week, inspired by a song. A project that I entitled, 52weeks 52songs. I selected the songs based on the significance they played at different points in my life. I was inspired by my desire to translate those songs and moments into photographs, capturing the image they created in my mind. The project created a nuanced collection of 52 photographs each telling a different story on the journey of becoming me. This photo is related to the song 'Fun for me' by Moloko. Do you know what is fun for me? Dreaming awake... I've been doing it since I was a child and in fact, I'm starting to think that it's kind of a gift. A gift that allows me to get away from reality when I don't like what it offers to me or simply it's awful enough to want to go away from it. So, when you see me standing, staring into space, just leave me alone, it's almost sure that I'm having some fun.
