The philosopher Søren Kierkegaard said that life begins and ends with the individual. During a phase where I could only think about the meaning of life, I thought that a person’s existence is generally made up of seven major stages.
In December 2008 I wrote: ‘To me this ‘life’ is a somewhat vicious cycle of you’re born, you’re educated, you work, you perhaps get married (not necessarily these days) and maybe have children, maybe retire and then you die… Everything else in between is killing time.’
Reality of Youth Going Backwards in Vain visualises this concept and my own potential past, present and future by making myself the protagonist within the photographs. By following the colours of the rainbow and a numerical pattern, this signifies the importance of the number seven within this theory and my own personal connection with it.

I self-published a book of the series in 2013.
