Core
Oz Barak
2019
Core is an attempt to create an isolated reality within the studio where two strangers walk hand in hand and allow each other to feel and touch the other’s heart, give, fill and reach mutual trust in no time. I arrive to the studio ready to listen, open up and connect with the women and hope to convey that new reality woven into the single shot and frame the beating heart I feel in front of me. At the beginning of the road I found myself photographing mostly women. I realized that I was looking for a kind of interaction and sensitivity that developed with women easily: I reveal myself and so the they are ready to peel the layers into their core.
