The 'Humane' series challenges the meaning behind actions and behaviours coined 'humane' and what qualities are inherently assimilated to human nature.

Seven fateful allegorical figures emerge from the darkness, of which only the eyes, hands and attributes can be seen. 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 works of Cindy Sherman, the grain of the photographs and shades echo oil paintings to accentuate a sense of universality and timelessness.

Each photograph depicts internal flaws and threats representing humanity's dark facets, of which the following have been selected: pandemic, cruelty, vanity, greed, war, fear and inaction.

All original photographs are numbered and limited to editions of seven.
