Moments of Isolation and Belonging
Explored in Surreal Composite Photographs by May Parla

Photographer May Parlar
punctuates open landscapes
with colorful elements like masses of
balloons and accessories separated from human wearers. Her work reflects
on themes of belonging and alienation, Parlar
seeks to “explore the human condition through a feminist perspective.”
To build her fanciful scenes, Parlar explains that she layers frames to build composite images rather than manipulating the content.
“I work across different mediums such as photography, film, performance
art, sculpture, installation, and landscape art;
and all of which gets
merged in the end and put together
with a glue that for me is the
camera”.
The artist first was first drawn to photography and filmmaking during her architecture and design schooling in the U.K. Parlar describes herself as a global nomad and is currently based in Berlin. See more of her imaginative images on Instagram, and purchase limited edition prints on Saatchi Art.

Funny how you captured raindrops. I was noticing raindrops two days ago on a branch on a maple tree outside our living room window. They seemed to be evenly spaced and gravity was pulling them down but they just were not falling. I wondered how long they would be there before they dropped or evaporated. I did not stay around long enough to find out. Now I wish I had photographed them. Lucky me we have 265 cloudy days in Seattle each year and around 44 inches of rain. So I will get another chance. Thanks for sharing each day. I love your work and your blog. :-)
LA got rain???? I am jealous.
