alex and felix Switzerland Nominee Portrait Professional "p.9 N°2" "BEHIND" ‚Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.‘ c.g. jung We imitate, play socially coined roles. The more polished the act the less we mistrust the actor. We want to be and see the perfect lie. Independence seems to be important at first but the role changes the circumstances. Faces turn into masks. We are born as individuals, unique. We grow and slip into our different roles. Some are performed with fantasy and virtuosity some are simply one dimensional, some inept. Role behaviour can exclude and confine. Yet how free are we in choosing our roles? Is it education leading our way, is it genes? |

As I was packing to leave the Mother sat down by the window with the little boy after getting off his dress clothes and began reading a book to him. The natural light from the window and the intimate mood, was too good to miss! I went and asked the father to bring the baby to the room and when she ran over to see the book, there was the magic moment! |
