Incandescent

 Our manner of appearing is our manner
of being. The mask is the face.

 Susan Sontag

In this series, Barbara Hoogeweegen works from found photographs of women. She aims to impact the viewer with visceral emotion and the incandescence emanating from the female psyche. The work also celebrates strength, beauty and diversity.

The series was shown in the ‘Gorgeous’ exhibition at the Rebecca Hossack gallery, Fitzrovia, London, 3 – 26th May, 2018.
