To come up and deliver “Ode To Self”, photographer Rafael Dardes deepens himself into his own artistic, academic and personal research, Human Identity, in order to create and display the singularity of each character presented. Bold, elegant images, exploring extravagant, round silhouettes, and edgy hair and makeup bring a singular take to the very core of what we understand as Human to each Persona, defying ourselves to take a second and third look to each photograph. Each persona, though different from one another, is connected to a whole, once they, together, represent different sides and facades of the very same person. They are an ode to self.
