Personae is an exploration of how the human spirit, as

expressed through dreams, fantasy, and imagination can

endure and transcend to provide perspective on the lived

experiences.

David’s process invites participants to transform into their alter ego or a character of their choice, enabling freedom of expression and experimentation. And yet, in doing so, the subjects can explore and reveal more profound and hidden parts of themselves.

For the second installment, David collaborated with

a diverse group connected through the overarching theme

of conflict and trauma. Working with stigmatized and

marginalized groups, David aims to open a new path for

dialog between the spectator and the subject, an

opportunity for the participants to express and explore,

as well as bring attention to critical social issues through

the generation of fictionalized content.
