"Lilith: I Am Woman," is a composite of three photographic images shot at the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. It portrays Adam’s first wife resurrecting from her own ribs. Other examples include various portrayals of Eve with Adam's apple. “For thousands of years the original temptation story has influenced society's behavior towards women much to women's detriment. I enjoy portraying Eve and the apple in different scenarios, inviting viewers to think about the roles that women have been assigned to in patriarchal societies. “Fallen Son” is dedicated mothers around the world who have lost children in war. It is a composite of two images; one, a statue, located in the bus terminal in Philadelphia, of an angel carrying a dead soldier; the other, the Japanese model Kumico taken at the Nakita Temple in Japan. “My own mother lost my brother in the Vietnam war.” "Emerging Eve" represents the emergence of women around the world.
