“Animeyed: Flamingo(archival pigment print on Hahnemühle pap), one of the works of Flora Borsi at Lanoue Gallery, Boston.

The gallery says she ‘uses masterful photo manipulation to create surreal images that are thematically focused on identity, relationships, dreams, and universal emotions ranging from lust and desire to despair and loss.’’

“In her ongoing self-portrait series, Borsi often features the female body playing with hiding and revealing the eyes or face to leave only the feminine form, exploring questions of female representation and the relationship between body and self.’’
