In her 'Humane' series, the artist challenges the meaning of its eponymous term. Each photograph depicts a human flaw or threat standing for humanity's darkest facets. Seven fateful allegorical figures, of which only the eyes, hands and attributes can be seen, emerge from the darkness. These entities wear symbolic masks, whose menacing looks peer through the lens at the viewer.

Similar to Jacques' monologue in Shakespeare's "As You Like It", they inhabit a dark universal stage, where humanity plays itself out, battling its nature, haunted by looming entities it must stay away from to survive. Depicted in the style of Old Masters portraits and drawing inspiration from the tradition of Cindy Sherman, the grain of the photographs and shades draw their inspiration from oil paintings to accentuate their universality and timelessness.

The following seven internal menaces humanity is facing have been selected:  pandemic, cruelty, vanity, greed, war, mental health and fear.

The photographs are editions of seven.
