A Better Life by wendyfarrow

'A Better Life' is an extension on the PX3 Paris award-winning series "Les Deux Villages". It comprises photographic elements from my time living in Paris, in Ontario, Canada, and my present life in London, England.

As with the other digitally constructed environments in this series, the viewer is presented with a structure that at first glance seems to beckon. On closer inspection, we see there is no way in, or it is at least challenging to enter, with no door handles, doorbells or signs of welcoming inhabitants. There is also the option of exploring the mysterious path around the back, into an undefined space.

These lightly animated versions tell a story of a consciousness, sometimes two, revisiting, searching, reminiscing, and potentially guarding the space... or at least the idealised memory of it. This particular image is a contemplation on my late cat who moved here to London with me to find a better life. She passed into the world beyond a few years ago, hopefully to yet an even better life on another plane.
