In Obstructed Views, an ongoing series of self-portraits, the photographs are triggered by the space itself. The window, a recurring element in this series, suggests the outside world as it paradoxically extends the view. For even though the window offers this extension, it is also what denies the viewer the knowledge of what lies outside. In earlier work, the obstruction to what was outside was complete. However, in more recent work, the interplay between the window and the view has been extended. Though I have started exposing what is outside the window, this outside remains hazy. Something is always in the way of obtaining the full view. The view outside does not provide enough information to give specificity. Instead, it acts as a projected space and state of mind.
