Uniforms/Uniform
The uniform is often a signifier of how we want people to perceive us. What we wear is often just a public persona of a greater personality. In my series, The Uniforms/Uniform I use portraiture to connect the persona with the person.
In this series the term “uniform”is explored as a contronym. I photograph my subjects in their uniform, thereby identifying themselves as an individual of an organization or cultural group. The next step is to ask them to list who they are. The list deconstructs the uniform narrative and exposes the common bonds between us, blurring the lines between our public personas and revealing the uniformity of the human experience.
