Heather's herselves

Self portraits by Heather Hanrahan - some of them could have been published in some style magazine, and some of them are like small, artistic clues which we sometimes find on our way. Clues  that make us wonder about such things as beauty or destination. Do they give answers? I don't think so. I'm not sure how personal those photographic autobiographies are, either. Maybe they are only the artist's creation. Or maybe Heather Hanrahan captured the most intensive emotions which surrounded her from the inside. Whatever we think... these photos are only clues or misleading signs.

I, personally, find in those pictures the duality I see in myself. The spirit of strong, sad woman and the shadow of a gentle princess - or maybe even two princesses: one self-confident, adult,beautiful, and the other a small, lost one, who needs someone to take care of her. And maybe the strong, sad woman is not single also. Plenty of women...plenty. But all of them mostly with herselves...
