American Hero.
Delving into the complex and often misunderstood world of dissociative identity disorder, each image represents this in a subtle cue or a clever innuendo. The inner workings of the mind. The struggles. The complex and fractured sense of self. This series is a powerful commentary on the human psyche and points to our perception of reality.
