Held Captive aka Python (2022) 摄影 由 Martin Vallis

In one of my many therapy sessions over the years, I was asked to conjure up an image of my mother, what came to mind was a Python!

Perhaps not that surprising because my mother was overprotective and smothering of me and of course, what a Python does is to constrict, smother and suffocate its victims. Which in many respects is exactly what my mother did to me, not intentionally, I might add? And is perhaps why I often feel trapped.

I think it can also be viewed as protection, by keeping one captive, it helps to keep one safe from harm, both physically and mentally.





This is a limited edition of 15.

Printing can vary between paper finish and paper size, though the image size will generally speaking be no more than 10x8 inches or what I consider to be aesthetically correct for the paper size.

I'm also currently experimenting with miniature art printed on brushed aluminium and the size will be no more than 5x4 inches. I am happy with the results so far and if you'd like an image on brushed aluminium then please get in touch for a price.
