When viewing someone's life from afar we often see a smoother, calmer, seemingly happier version of what really exists. Those ruffles, waves and breaks in the façade are often only noticed when we take a closer look. Often times the more manicured, proper and well-adjusted one's outward appearance, the more complex things actually are. Within any relationship we may choose to take on various roles. By creating narratives which may seem ambiguous or uncomfortable, I am hoping our belief in what appears "normal and happy" is challenged. This image is part of a series --Significant Others, that reflects on the complexities of relationships and family dynamics and describes how we relate to our environment and to each other.
