Literal Idioms is a photo series of people acting out common idioms and metaphors as if they were taken literally. Titles in this series include Double-Edged Sword, Crying Over Spilled Milk, Apple of My Eye, and Bed of Roses. As a neurodivergent individual, I can misunderstand the meaning or tone of what others are saying; I started my Literal Idioms series to visually describe my experience of miscommunication and not understanding the true meaning of things sometimes during conversations. Surrealism allows me to better visualize my own truth and interpretation of the world.
