This image is from a series titled “longing” which is presented through a number of scenarios involving images of characters and other subjects taken from film, books and TV. These characters are introduced into our lives through the various forms of media and begin to occupy our conscious. We often isolate characters of significance, removing them from their original context and take them as our own. This image has been captured in one exposure and no Photoshop editing has been used.
