STATEMENT

In our fast-paced world, where images constantly pass by, I love taking the time to slow down. This helps me look deeper and uncover what often goes unnoticed.

I create photographs using a homemade pinhole camera constructed from cardboard. It’s a simple black box with a tiny hole instead of a lens, allowing light to enter and form an image on light-sensitive film.

The images are captured with exposure times ranging from one and a half minutes to an entire week. In these images, you can see the sun’s path across the sky throughout the day. The lines are sometimes interrupted, indicating moments of cloud cover. Other ‘sun paths’ are created by moving the camera towards the sun after the initial exposure. 

The analogue technique deepens my connection to photography’s materiality, embracing the imperfections and serendipity inherent in the process.

Fleeting traces, like reflections or footprints, vanish but leave their mark, making time visible and connecting us to the landscape. Drawn to waterfronts, I use nature’s cyclical rhythms as metaphors for human emotion and experience. 

My work invites viewers to pause and explore themes of impermanence, vulnerability, and interconnectedness. Positioned at the intersection of time, memory, and perception, it offers a meditative approach to contemplating the passage of time.

My goal is not just to capture reality but to evoke a deeper presence. Light, shadow, and imagination shape a poetic world where the rush of modern life slows down.
