Melanie Bonajo statement -
My work is an irregular impulse of experiences and aesthetic enjoyments stemming from the questions I have and the things that I know. I am not interested in a particular truth or a common reality, but I do have to understand and embody my truth, which I find from looking within. Although these things might be universal, consequently, questioning myself leads to the act of questioning you. Nothing should control the spirit.

Melanie Bonajo explores identity through the medium of photography. She presents an inward view of oneself, whilst demonstrating how the worlds possessions and situations are orchestrated into reality by ones own mindset. She believes this to be the process of us illustrating our identity.
