Relying on a complex multi-layered digital post-production methodology to merge real-world photographic baselines into a surreal landscape the unique studio composition frames an emotional narrative that reads like an environmental dreamscape. The composition anchors a central female form clad in flowing deep brick-red textiles seated before ancient heavy tree roots with her eyes completely obscured by a long matching red gauze blindfold. She holds a small living green plant seedling sprouting from a hollow cavity built into her upper chest balancing rich organic wood and leaf textures with a sweeping dark forest background.
Starting with photographic base elements, such as the figure or the landscape, Haider transforms the scenery into a surreal world through heavy post-production. She uses photographs, that in their essence capture something real, to merge these aspects of reality, slowly creating something unreal and imagined, yet familiar in its story - a dreamscape, drawing from the essence underneath the surface. In her work the unspoken finds itself translated into images.
