Danae is also a blogger, writer and social commentator. Artist Statement: “Many themes explored within my photographic art practice, emerge from personal reflection and memory. They are often voyeuristic, yet make reference to my own fragmented existence, whilst trying to capture fleeting moments of beauty and a romanticized memory of the past. Exploring topics related to identity, connection and disconnection, there is a narrative undertone, an emotive and unsettling disquiet within many images. They are layered with a kaleidoscope of emotions that resonate with feelings of desire, loss and isolation, unfulfilled passions and conflicting ideals.” Show less
