Private Spaces: The Backyard Project

As the gateway between public and private, the backyard is at once a playground, a privilege and an escape. Rebekah Rocha’s saturated color photographs explore this veiled world, the banal and the fantastic; the nature and artifice. Beyond the promised privacy and security from fences and hedges lies a curious place of fantasy, where gardens, work sheds and secret paths reflect the desires of their owners and exist in a state seemingly isolated from the outside world.
