“Reflections” is a symbolic take on my idea of introspection and a progressive emotional conflict. I took the final image during a tumultuous time in my life, just a foot from the exit door of a house I’d never step foot into again. This series shows a gradual fall into pandemonium.

Often, whether it is caused by the roughness of the world or simply adulthood, there comes a time when one’s inner child may grow distant. In the final image, the contrast between the beauty of natural flowers and the barbed wire summarizes the message of the series overall.
