“Often in the character of a young girl or woman trying to find balance and navigate in a confusing world and an existence full of questions about her own worth, and the role she has been given -and perhaps, how to break out of it,” a statement says. “It is about being human on a deeply personal level, being a girl growing up, and little by little discovering the darker parts of life, inside her and around her. To lose the pure and innocent way of thinking, facing the dilemmas and challenges of life and curiosity about the unknown.”

Tying together various threads in the world around him, Smith creates imaginative vignettes that engage the senses.
