Digital prints, studio photographs altered in Photoshop. The piece invites the viewer to identify with and start to contemplate the notion of how our behaviour shows our identity, desires and attempts for personal and worldly transformation. In this portrait I tell the story of the fictional British Hollywood star, Barbra Langford, as remembered by her daughter Arabella discussing her mother’s troubled life marred by feelings of emptiness and longing for salvation.
