This Is How I Feel And You Won’t Change My Mind

The subject matter of this series of photographs, as well as my other recent projects, is a gathering over tea, which I present as a symbol for a moment of closeness, sharing, undivided attention and sometimes – even an experience of the sublime. I have hosted actual public tea parties and used the formal elements, like tea cups and spoons, fruit and flowers to create installations and images that talk about lyrical, nostalgic and romantic feelings.
