Unwrapped - STEVEN R. TABOR

Unwrapped

What is the best way to unwrap things?

This series was created in late-December 2020. December is a month in which we wrap ourselves in heavy clothing, sweaters and jackets to protect ourselves from the winter's cold. And then several times a day we unwrap ourselves once we've arrived somewhere warm and dry. It's also a time when we wrap gifts for our friends and family, and when we then spend time unwrapping gifts and presents at various end-of-year celebrations. But December is also a month when memories of those we have lost in years-gone-by unwrap themselves from deep within our mind, and find their way into our thoughts and dreams.

In this series, a model, Sofie, has wrapped herself in various scarves and veils. As she wraps herself in these different garments, all is calm and serene. In the second part of the series, she unwraps herself from these garments in a flurry of movement and color, like old memories suddenly surfacing on a chilly winter's day.
