The mind can't differentiate between something we're imagining and a situation that's actually happening. It starts sending warning or well-being signals (depending on what we're thinking) so our hormones and emotions trigger us to react.

When I imagine a self-portrait, I project it onto paper. Then I try to create what I felt and imagined with my camera and then with my computer.
So my creativity has led me to step outside my mind and connect with my heart on at least four occasions. My energy completely changes because I'm letting go of what's causing me mental fatigue.

I have created this section with some of my before and afters.

Behind every photo there are several hours of work.
