Initially I approached the subject of phobias wanting to make images
that were haunting and at the same time investigate the psychological
aspects of fear. What I discovered through the process of researching
and making pictures is there exists well documented cases of many
different and quite specific types of fears ranging from allumiphobia,
fear of garlic, to zephyraphobia, fear of bridges. I was intrigued by
the nature of these fears, how something like Homophobia can be so
widespread and accepted but Limonophobia, fear of string, could be seen
