Helu Collien

Folie À Deux

A woman wanders through the labyrinth of her fractured self, - haunted by voices and images that feel both foreign and intimately hers. In this mysterious unfolding of her inner world she tries to understand the different parts within her. To find peace she is compelled to confront the evil. Several figures, shadows and reflections emerge - embodiments of her inner aspects - leaving open the question: is she moving through the shifting layers of her own psyche, or finding healing through a deepening connection with another woman? This poetic descent into the fragmented human psyche is a visual and emotional invocation of what it means to embrace the self in all its complexity. A raw, sensory journey toward self-reconciliation.
