Conscious Cornucopia
Project type
Surreal Portraiture
Date
September '24
Location
Cornwall
"Conscious Cornucopia" is a visual exploration of the delicate balance between the abundance of nature and the complexities of mental health. Set against the backdrop of sprawling cornfields—symbols of fertility, growth, and life—the project delves into the darker, often hidden, corners of the mind. The towering stalks of corn evoke a sense of entrapment and disorientation, while the moonlit skies and faceless figures suggest both a haunting serenity and an unsettling anonymity.
Each image in this collection is a dialogue between light and shadow, movement and stillness, abundance and emptiness. The blurred, faceless figures reflect the disconnection and uncertainty that often accompany mental health struggles, as they move through the cornfield, both part of and detached from their surroundings. The soft light of dusk and moonrise adds an ethereal quality, transforming the cornfield into a liminal space where reality blends with the subconscious.
The series invites viewers to confront the tension between the natural world’s beauty and the internal battles we often face in silence. It is a reflection on how, in moments of feeling lost or overwhelmed, the natural world can offer solace, while simultaneously highlighting the isolation that mental health challenges often bring. "Conscious Cornucopia" asks us to find meaning in the contrast—where the richness of nature’s embrace meets the shadowy realms of the mind, and where beauty and darkness are interwoven into a shared experience of vulnerability and hope.
