Edition of 30 - All sizes included | 15 in S, 10 in M and 5 in LExploration of Self

In her compelling collection "Exploration of Self," artist and photographer Brooke Shaden delves deep into self-examination and discovery. Each piece in this series unveils an aspect of her personal journey through self-portraiture, providing a reflective soul's mirror where inner duality and existential inquiries are illuminated. Born from the vast creative expanse of her mind, this collection emerged as a quest to decipher the mysteries of her being.

"Exploration of Self" sees Shaden navigating through the shadows and light of her identity, weaving visual stories that transcend mere representation. She creates dreamlike worlds where every element, texture, and color contributes to the narrative of deep introspection. Her images become catalysts for personal reflection, inviting viewers to embark on their own soul-searching journey.

This collection signifies a period of transition and growth for Shaden, utilizing photography as a tool to confront and embrace the hidden facets of her personality. "Exploration of Self" epitomizes her ability to turn vulnerability into strength, revealing raw beauty in the act of self-revelation. Each image is a step towards understanding her fears, desires, and dreams, in a journey that is both personal and universal.

Known for her innovative approach and impeccable technique, Brooke Shaden continues to captivate and inspire with "Exploration of Self." The collection has been featured in numerous galleries and praised for its emotional depth and unique aesthetic. Through this work, Shaden not only discovers herself; she extends an invitation for all to embark on a similar quest for self-exploration, once again proving why she is considered a significant voice in contemporary art.

Brooke Shaden

American artist and photographer Brooke Shaden spent years delving into the duality of human nature in her work. Born in 1987, Shaden has become one of the most well-known photographers in modern art. She's recognized by her conceptual images where she puts herself in settings that feel like an imaginary world. After finishing college in 2008, and deciding to explore her passion of storytelling, she began to probe her inner darkness and confront the fears of her intense childhood imagination.

Mainly a self-portrait artist, Brooke doesn't shy away from photographing others as well. Many of her photographs evoke a sense of epiphany in an unfamiliar place. It's easy to feel connected to her images as they embody personal exploration and encapsulate themes of darkness and light. She aims to show others a quintessential part of themselves that might've been lurking in the shadows prior. With this, she considers herself leaning more toward discovery than creation.

Shaden studied film all throughout college in Pennsylvania near to where she grew up. She was merely 25 years old when she became a part of PhotoVogue Italia's group exhibition “101 Best Photos" in 2012. Over the years, she has amassed 18 conceptual awards for her work and has been a part of 80+ group and solo exhibitions all over America and Europe, with her very first exhibition in 2009.

As previously noted, Brooke's unyielding passion is storytelling, and she continues to produce portraits in addition to writing and giving motivational speeches. She also allows us to look deeper into her process both mentally and physically, in her blog named “Promoting Passion". She seeks to lead a multitude of lives with her curiosity serving as a perpetual fire of inspiration.

Presentation

Brooke explores dark and light in people, and her work engages with this juxtaposition. As a self-portraitist, she photographs herself and becomes the characters of dreams inspired by an intense childhood of imagination and fear. As a creator and actor, Brooke controls her darkness and confronts these fears.

After studying film for years in college, she realized her love for storytelling was universal. She then started photography in 2008, enthusiastic about creating in solitude and taking on character roles herself. Brooke works from a theme, often gravitating towards death and rebirth or beauty and decay.

Ultimately, his process is more discovery than creation. She pursues her curiosity towards the unknown to see who could become her characters. Brooke believes an artist's greatest gift is the ability to channel their fears, hopes, and experiences to represent their potential.

Although his images come from a place of personal exploration, the purpose of creation is not just to satisfy oneself; his greatest wish is to show others a part of themselves. Art is a mirror for the creator and the observer.

Brooke's passion is storytelling, and her life is swallowed up by it. From creating self-portraits and writing to international adventures and motivational speeches, she wants to live a thousand lives in one. She keeps her curiosity burning to live a really interesting story.
