“The reason I take pictures of myself is because I am the subject that I know best. My private life becomes the subject of my work, and it is a glorious moment. My everyday story is rather painful, and making my private life public is a relief. If I had to describe my work, I would say it documents emotions. Beneath the playful anarchy, my work is a way for me to take control through reconstitution of rituals and objects. Everyday life is my Muse!”
