Play and experimentation are at the heart of my artistic practice. I’ve always been curious about how we see—how light, color, and even the tricks of the mind, like hallucinations, shape our perception. Photography has become my way of exploring these mysteries. Through experimental photographic techniques, I explore the sensory impressions that shape how we perceive the world.
This curiosity has led me to the German concept of Umwelt—the idea that every living being, whether human or critter, experiences reality in its own distinct and subjective way. Photography becomes my way of examining these individual sensory worlds, balancing the medium’s inherent illusions and material transformations with its tether to reality.
Lately, my work has also been shaped by a deep awareness of darkness—both personal and collective. People are suffering, ecosystems are collapsing, conservation is under threat, and family challenges have made me more sensitive to the fragile and fleeting nature of what we hold dear. In contrast, the natural world—its creatures, its cycles—continues on with an indifference that is both brutal and comforting. It’s within this tension, between human grief and nature’s persistence, that I find both solace and creative urgency.
It’s in these semi-wild spaces—where the boundaries between the human-made and natural worlds blur—that I find both refuge and inspiration. Through a playful approach, I use unconventional tools and techniques to create visual disruptions in the interplay of light and darkness. By rethinking—and often breaking—the rules of traditional photography, I hope to transport viewers into otherwise imperceptible spaces and evoke a sense of wonder.
Ultimately, my work is about asking questions:
How do we perceive?
How do we connect?
How do we make sense of the visible and invisible worlds around us?
And maybe, in asking these questions, we remember that even in times of darkness, there are still threads of light—fleeting moments that ask us to keep looking, and to keep seeing.
