Every picture tells a story, an unfolding narrative from the varying perspectives of the characters and objects in the image. The image sets the stage but it is up to the viewer to determine the story. Every image has the power to ignite a viewer’s imagination or evoke an emotion, which along with their life experiences, and culture, create unique interpretations from the single frame.

An iconic image, on the other hand, is one that is so well known, with events or characters so recognizable that there is no longer any opportunity for the viewer to develop their own interpretation. Instead, the narrative is defined for the viewer and cannot be divorced from its iconography.

In this series, iconic or other well-known imagery are combined to create a new picture that breaks with the old story lines, allowing the viewer to develop a new narrative, unencumbered by the original story that made these images and characters iconic.
