Evading Realities. Lara Zankoul

From the outside, this traveler’s life must seem incredibly exciting and adventurous, and yes, in many ways it is.  But even so, Mr. F and I still deal with life’s drudgery like work, insurance, and laundry.  Add to that worries about illnesses among family and friends and we’re both craving an escape from reality.  In her conceptual photography, Lebanese artist Lara Zankoul provides her own retreat into dreamland.

The surreal situations painted in soft, dreamy palettes make Zankoul’s work visually stunning, but it is the human element that packs the punch.  Figures in enigmatic scenes allow the viewer to eschew the bounds of reality.  Floating in a tea cup sounds so lovely, doesn’t it?
