Endurance - STEVEN R. TABOR

Endurance

Why do we carry on?

   He that cannot endure the bad, will not live to see the good

                  מי שאינו יכול לסבול את הרע לא יחיה לראות את הטוב

                                                             --An old Yiddish Proverb

This proverb is a short expression of popular wisdom in Jewish culture. It's about toughing it out in order to survive, because life isn't always kind. Right now, the world is going through some very tough times. And for many, life may well be a series of one tough time after another. But no matter how hard these times are, if you give up, you will not make it to the good times.

In this series, the model, Zoi, strikes poses that reflects this cycle of good times and hard times. A combination of long exposure and projection photography is used to illustrate her passage from hope to despair, and back to hope again.
