Josephine Cardin: Imprisoned By Dark
"He who fears he shall suffer, already suffers what he fears."~Michel de Montaigne
New York based visual artist Josephine Cardin works primarily in self-portraiture to capture human emotion in all its complex aspects, approaching themes of solitude and isolation, exploring the deepest fears, self-doubt, loss and melancholy, addictions and insecurities, the darkness that we impose and surround ourselves with by embracing the false and constructed ideals of society.
When in front of Josephine Cardin’s outstanding fine art photography, one may first experience the beauty and powerful expressiveness of the harmonious gestures and gentle movements of the subject (often Josephine, who is also a former dancer), yet at a second glance this almost dreamlike state reveals its essential meaning, related to the imprisonment of the self, as if our minds deny who we truly are and restrict ourselves from being free.
