Artist Statement

My artistic practice begins with a feeling that human life is far deeper than what we usually perceive on the surface. I have always been drawn to moments when ordinary reality subtly shifts — like in dreams, in states of déjà vu, or in quiet moments of inner awareness when a person suddenly senses a connection to something larger than themselves.

Several years ago someone close to me said something about my work that stayed with me. He told me that when I photograph people, it feels as if I see something in them that they cannot see in themselves. Those words became a turning point. I realized that in my images I am not searching for an external form, but for a subtle inner presence that exists beyond it.

Since then photography has become a way for me to approach these states and make them visible.

In my work I use water, light, long exposures and optical distortions, allowing the human body to move beyond the limits of stable form. Within these images the figure may dissolve into movement, transform into light, or merge with its surrounding space.

Many of these images emerge intuitively, in a state of flow where control gives way to sensitivity and attention to the interaction between body, light and environment.

I am interested in the moment when photography stops being merely an image and becomes an experience — a space where the boundaries between body, perception and the world begin to soften.
