Between 2015 and 2019 after moving from the United States to France, AnnMarie Tornabene had been working hard at creating photographic works that expressed this move, among other monumental life changes that has taken place over the last 12 years. She thought about words like transition, process, progress; loss, memories, including emotional memories and dreams and as her artwork, since the beginning, stems from a therapeutic standpoint, she wanted the images to tell her story in a more ethereal or surreal way. much like her life had become in recent years.
Thus, came further exploration of digital tools and the use of photo collage and manipulation. The process began in the series, The Divine Journey and she wanted to see where she could take the process. AnnMarie also wanted to create a personal visual “formula” - , almost secretive but in a way that the viewer has fascination by these combinations.
