ARTIST STATEMENT 
My curiosity as a photographer and visual artist lead me in many directions. I transform my own way of seeing and being in the world into dreamy photographic abstractions with a main focus on the notion of materiality and how we value different materials in contemporary societies today. By connecting elements that are not naturally related – in a borderland between nature and culture - I am constantly seeking new visions of the world surrounding me. Drawing upon a sculptural understanding I am rearranging and modulating every composition as a revelation of the emotional experience that lies beyond the naked eye. What is a body? What is natural and what is staged? Nothing is as it seems, and I enjoy this surreal interplay between natural and artificial textures and structures, light and shadow in a constant exploration of an(other) poetic version of our physical reality.
