Pas de Berlin
Pas de Berlin' is a unique collection of concept photography, captured by photographer Todd Powers. Spanning twelve months of work themed on tragedy, courage, and recovery, this body of work creates for the viewer a stunning visual narrative, following the progress of a young woman, Berlin.
As she dances her way through a series of eight different landscapes, each representing a new stage in her journey, Berlin boldly takes on the grieving process, and breaks it down into visual elements, determined not only to heal herself, but also, hopefully, to help others who are grieving find peace, as well.
This innovative team is rounded out by makeup and hair artist Ande Castaneda, with concept direction provided throughout by Jen Raven. Together, they have created a body of work which chronicles twelve months of collective curative exploration.
This body of work has exhibited with the UCLA Geffen School of Medicine Learning Resource Center, Los Angeles, CA; Bunny Gunner Gallery at The Garner House, Claremont, CA; Loft Beats Gallery, Pomona, CA; The Empty Space Gallery, Bakersfield, CA, and ErnsLab Gallery, Upland, CA.
