A series of five photographic diptychs are presented with each arrangement questioning a different aspect of the human condition. The photographs have been paired to create a visual tension that transcends the limits of the printed paper. The aim is to create a tense narrative in each diptych that generates questions about life, death, addiction, love, vanity, power and belief. The common element is a gold nest filled with the spoils of addiction which provides a common thread of the value humans allocate to the material and non-material path through life.
