The project Invisible explores how the culture of aging is experienced by women. The images communicate the passing of time and the sense of one becoming less visible as we age. There is actually a well-known social phenomenon called “Invisible Woman Syndrome.” Women who report themselves Invisible find themselves depressed and with a sense of lost identity and lack of confidence. An essential part of their womanhood is henceforth missing, the part that had been visible up to that point in their personal history. To have gone through half a century on earth, with all its hardships only to find yourself invisible, is tragic. The good news is that it does however, pass. Autonomy arrives with this new phase, as one sheds the sense of needing to please someone; the boss, parents, children, partners. You gain strength and freedom, you’re no longer answerable to anyone, your invisibility transitions into power.

The images use soft focus, slow motion and layered opacity to represent the loss of one’s visibility. The photos appear to be objective and neutral, however they have these associations encoded within them. The ideas inherent in these images are determined by the time and culture in which they were produced and therefore, are historical.
