I drew inspiration from paintings of the Dutch Golden Age in creating these series.I portrayed victimized women in a staged setting.These works tell about the after effects of sexual abuse in a subtle way through the use of abstraction, suggestion and symbolic elements.There is more than meets the eye in these photographs.These works tell stories of loss of innocence, decay and death.They are metaphors for the feelings of sexually abused women.Hidden secrets and clues to convey an unsettling feeling that they appear to be left fending for themselves in the looming darkness.Hesitant to speak up
