I seek to explore the interplay between absence and presence, humanity and nature, and past and present. Through my imagery, I invite viewers to contemplate the delicate equilibrium between human activity and the natural world.
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.
// Roald Dahl
My work centers on capturing reflections in windows. These images merge the views from inside and outside, bringing together different elements into one unified picture. The window acts as a portal, combining fragments of the surrounding world into a single image.
Even though chance plays a role in how these elements come together, the unexpected combinations give my work a dreamlike, surreal quality that I aim to create deliberately. Instead of simply copying reality, I blend real images with the viewer’s imagination, blurring the line between what is real and what is imagined. Using reflections as my creative tool, I strive to evoke the magic of a newly discovered, mystical realm.
Photographing two directions simultaneously, capturing scenes both behind and in front of me, presents a unique creative opportunity that invites exploration of multiple perspectives within a single frame.
With the camera positioned strategically, I find myself immersed in a dynamic interplay of spatial dimensions. Behind me lies a world of familiar landscapes, tangible elements that ground the composition in reality. Meanwhile, in front of me unfolds a vista of endless possibilities, where imagination intertwines with the tangible, and the ordinary merges with the extraordinary.
In this dual directionality, I endeavor to harmonize contrasting elements—past and future, reality and fantasy—into a cohesive visual narrative. The juxtaposition of these divergent viewpoints fosters a sense of continuity and interconnectedness, blurring the boundaries between the observed and the imagined.
Through the lens, I capture moments suspended in time, simultaneously revealing the beauty of the present and the potential of the unseen. Each photograph becomes a testament to the richness of our surroundings, a testament to the limitless creativity that emerges when we embrace the duality of our perspective.
