Secrets Spill Out Like Sand

David Uzochukwu photography surreal

The work of contemporary photographer David Uzochukwu is one tinged with a mood of melancholy and dreaminess. Characters in his images look like they are grappling with some kind of internal trauma. This manifests itself in a number of versatile motifs: secrets spill out the mouth and transform into sand; stylishly dressed girls are pulled up by invisible strings. It is all very fascinating, both in terms of the ideas explored and the visual metaphors.
