"Interestingly, it was my dreams and the recurring theme to capture beauty that led me to photography. Because of this, I want to inspire others to reflect upon the landscape of their inner being - to listen to and appreciate whatever arises from their subconscious. It is my passion to convey the beauty in what we share and how these feelings can unite us all."
Maibrit's Jungian fine art self-portraits are an extension of her dreams. Dreamatria - Portraits Of Dreams is an Online Solo Exhibition presented by Self Portraits On Fire, and is on view from December 15, 2023 - January 15, 2024. A combination of conceptual fine art photography and a psychoanalytic lens, convey nuanced dreamscapes layered with subconscious truths and emotional clarities.
A dream is defined as a state of unreality or half-consciousness when the mind is flooded with a series of images, thoughts, ideas, and emotions during stages of deep slumber. Inspired by the themes and lessons displayed in her dreams, Maibrit's self-portraiture unveils carefully crafted narratives on the beauty that lives deep within every moment - past or present, good or bad, witnessed or felt, remembered or forgotten, etc. The layers of personal meaning and psychological depth reflected in her dreams, inspire viewers to experience gratitude and seek illumination behind the perplexity and complexity of their own dreams.
As though it may seem that the artist is physically masking or concealing herself from the viewer, she is actually undergoing a series of transformative revelations that reside deep within, beneath, and beyond the surface of her dreams. What the artist makes visible is the intangibility of deep-felt emotions and the poeticism of her inner narrative. In these dream portraits, viewers are able to journey through the internal passages of their own dreams and capture insightful perspectives. An emotional connection is shared with the viewer, which communicates the power and beauty of self-awareness, self-discovery, and inner authenticity.
