Your images tend to be very evocative. This one evokes questions and doubts about existence and reality. Whose ghost are you?

The more you can change or alter yourself from your normal appearance, the more abstract and potentially incongruous it becomes. That is what happened here, Ana, and that is why this image is one of the strongest in the series. It tells more about how you really feel than the more descriptive images do, because you involve the imagination of your viewer to a greater extent.

Gorgeous spectre.The elegant aged print of the enveloping arms of the chair around the figure in cuddly dream repose yet embracing a comforting pillow is magnificent.Superb mood.V!

Excellent image.
It feels "argentique"(film) rather than digital.

"To you I gave my heart. My love... my life...
You were the beggining and the end within me..
With you I've found the meaning of my existence ...of myself ....and lost the fear of tomorrow.
Now, as we end, I'm lost in me. My light is fading and I seam not able to find a reason to stay under the colours of life anymore. I'm a shadow of myself, my Darling love... a ghost of who I was.
I've learned how to love,
how to laugh
and how to cry...
...do you think I will learn how to tell you good bye?"


(Part of a letter to D.)


....came to my mind when seeing your photo.

After a long and busy day it looks like you have fallen asleep in the chair. Perhaps dreaming, or perhaps the ghostly appearance is your soul floating. Great shot Ana.

Great work Ana, this ghost presence! I love your pose here, the light, the black and white.
The ghost shape adds to the idea of sleep. As if we came into your dreams! ;-)
