In a present increasingly shaped by new technologies and artificial intelligence, the boundaries between real and manipulated images are becoming increasingly blurred. Digital images are often hardly distinguishable from reality, altering not only our understanding of truth but also our self-image and sense of identity. In my artistic practice, I have been engaging with these shifts for some time. I am interested in those in-between spaces where reality and illusion lose their fixed meanings and unsettle our habitual ways of seeing. My photographs suggest a form of reality without actually depicting one.

 

As an independent artist, I engage intensively with the possibilities of the photographic medium. I research and experiment with the processes and mechanisms of the digital camera, exploring the visual language of photography itself. I work with materials and surfaces that transform through light, shadow, and reflection, generating new pictorial spaces. I capture these transformations photographically, making them visible. I paint with light, create new visual worlds with the camera, and use photography to reveal phenomena that remain hidden to the naked eye.

 

Through this unconventional use of photography, I investigate not only the tension between two- and three-dimensionality, but also questions of identity and difference. My constructed image worlds present a reality that does not, in fact, exist, thereby creating a deliberate distance from the real. Upon closer observation, familiar forms lose their original meaning, objects slip out of their customary identities, and our perception of being and appearance is called into question.
