EUFRASIA 2004

“Eufrasia” is part of a project focusing on the world of disability. Imperceptibly, the image shifts, showing us a fellow creature, not physically or mentally challenged but out of a dream or fantasy world. The handicap is no longer perceived as such but rather as a strangeness that is hard to define. The person’s difference takes on a magical, fairy-tale quality, is a source of fascination or attraction – the fascination and attraction that we have naturally, as a child, for imaginary worlds and the characters peopling them; for the other.
