I’m a child of the 80s, and sometimes I still miss being a kid: that freedom, that directness, playing without having to explain. In my photographs I try to bring that back: a world of my own where the rules shift for a moment and the ordinary is allowed to tilt. I’m not much of a talker, I’m introverted, and I observe. By watching closely and staying sharp, I break the ice with a dry remark. I build images that speak for me.
My choices are decisive; once a scene is in my head, I can’t let it go, like a film sequence playing on repeat. I search for the right building blocks to create that fragment and show how I see it. Alienation and playfulness are key, forming a subtle absurdism. I remove clothing so that pure nudity remains, placing perfection and imperfection on the same scale. I work with female bodies because their physical presence is both vulnerable and powerful, and it’s exactly there that the tension between absurdity and humanity arises. I let surrealism and reality rub against each other, making themes like order and disorder, desire, identity, social roles, and vulnerability approachable.
Nudity, space, and props work together; they reinforce one another and create meaning to express my thoughts. By tipping the everyday off balance, it stays human and leaves room for recognition. In my dream everything is already directed, and yet reality is allowed to play along. Each time is a new premiere, showing the twists in my mind to a wider audience. The world is serious enough and rushes past us at the speed of light; I like to hold it still for a moment.
I photograph to breathe, and I dream of new adventures.
