In my ongoing body of work "Coupling" I take digital photographs and with manipulation create surreal tableau portraits. I am interested in people within their intimate relationships; how those relationships are constantly changing through time, some growing while others become destructive. My images portray a psychological play on the evolution of a relationship by merging body parts and features of the two members of each couple into a single being. The new character that emerges explores and reveals these people for who they are, not as individuals, but as one whole entity.
