Comments: A morning drive from Bulgaria to Romania. On my way through one of the borders, the maps led me to a bridge that was facing a drought. Right before the border was a gas station and this woman in broken english told me it was closed and had to go a different way. She recommended me go to the other border pass that was 2 more hours away north, I called my artist friend named, None, and broke him the news it would take longer than expected to get to Craiova. Once I finally pulled into town hopped in the car at the parking lot and surprised me with good news. Originally, we planned for him to be in the portrait series. An hour before I arrived, None serendipitously met a mother with her twin daughters at the gallery exhibition he was curating. He said that they will meet us at the church in the center of the village to be part of the project! The girls played a ring-go-around in the holy presence of the towns sanctity. Their mother standing by watching the photoshoot taking place. None, speaking in Romanian, telling the mother Denisa, about my Twin Flames project. Throughout all of my projects I tend to return to the same people, or the same location years later. When completing older projects and starting new ones, I hide some easter eggs; like including Twins from the Birthday project into Twin Flames 6 years later. Or, A set of twins, or twins shot separately in the same project. Such as Twins from Twin flames in Smoke and Mirrors, and twins I did not shoot for Twin Flames to be included in Smoke to honor the past ideas and communities I have created with. In this current series, Moments of the Unknown. Some may notice the traits of, Everyday is a Gift, Twin Flames, or Smoke and Mirrors. As they represent the people who were involved in the past. And those who embody that idea who were not in past projects. Happy Birthdays, Twins and Mystics. Weaving stories from past to future. How do we age, and how do places look different, and sometimes the same. An exploration into repetition. Where does change happen? The present is the place that almost never happened. Only once, then forever shifting and fleeting, awaiting our awakening and noticing of awe.
