Photographic Exposé

DIB Photographic Exposé spans over the ten year creation of Drowning in Batik.

La Suzanna turned the lens on herself.  Her personal  self-portraits aided in the exploration of her characters, Ynez and Simone. 

The photographs expose and explore the rawness of beauty, love and the harshness of betrayal and loss. 

“I realized while creating DIB that my intimate visual journal was tied to my characters. No disguise was needed to represent myself, nor my characters. After all, they are a representation of myself. ” —La Suzanna
