1 - Falling

Artist Kerry Skarbakka, in his self-portrait series Struggle to Right Oneself, gets himself in moments of falling: scary, mesmerizing, beautiful. 

Artist statement:

This photographic work is in response to this delicate state. It comprises a culmination of thought and emotion, a tying together of the threads of everything I perceive life has come to represent. It is my understanding and my perspective, which relies on the shifting human conditions of the world that we inhabit. It’s exploration resides in the sublime metaphorical space from where balance has been disrupted to the definitive point of no return. It asks the question of what it means to resist the struggle, to simply let go. Or what are the consequences of holding on?
