Description
This series of portraits of children preparing to attend an imaginary birthday party explore what characters might be created if role-play is pushed to imaginative extremes. The children are placed in front of the same white wall and gaze into the lens of the camera, performing within a strictly composed frame. They reveal very little of themselves and yet this makes the portraits that much more magnetic. The childlike game of dressing up and costume reinforces the surreal tone of the series - exposing a side to childhood which is removed from cliche and a perfect world.
