CAMILLE SANSON
THE MASK
Photographer Camille Sanson shows how through embracing and exploring darkness, we can find liberation and eventual progression, freeing us from patterns and ideologies that exist as harmful limitations.
The Mask depicts the process of peeling back the layers and constructs of the ego, examining its shadow characteristics and accepting them in order to unveil the true self.
ABSOLUTION
The Absolution series of images address the difficult process of facing and letting go of fear. Realising the nature and paralysing effect of her own fears, Photographer Camille Sanson delved deeply into collective feminine pain as her source. In a play between light and dark these images (excerpts from her solo exhibition) expose Camille’s experiences and subsequent healing of wounds around her fear of childbirth and motherhood.
