L'INCONNU

Digital Photography by Jean David Niangoran

Title translation: The Unknown
 
"L'inconu" represents the hidden facets of our personality. Each individual is endowed with a part of shadow but also of a part of light. Our dark side manifests negativity (ego, lack of self-love, jealousy, fear, selfishness etc ...) while our light side manifests positivity (love, beauty, self-giving etc ...) In order to detach yourself from the negative aspect of our lives it is important to accept it, this is how we can turn to the light. Because It is impossible to properly appreciate the light without knowing the darkness. This work is an illustration of that.
