A B O U T
We all have a very unique perception of the world.
The image that presents itself to each of us depends on a variety of influences. Which connotations does it carry? What draws our attention?
Questions of utility, questions of value, they change what we see.
Through the lens of my camera, I want to open up another perspective. Abandoned places are an interesting subject to perform this transformation on, as they are the negation to the questions above. In the right light - and photography literally means "to paint with light" - they are an invitation to imagination, an escape from society, the dissolution of time and space, a reminder of transience.
Beauty is not an inherent quality of anything; it exists only through appreciation and admiration. There is beauty in everything, even in decay, if only we train the eye to see it.
About my own perception of the world:
I live life in contrasts. I've finished my sociology degree and am currently studying law. I'm a philosophy enthusiast. These areas require focus. To allow my mind to wander, I turn to art. I write and paint. Photography has always been a huge passion of mine.
