My works emerge at the boundary between perception and dissolution. They are conceived as recordings of light events – fleeting states in which the visible detaches itself from the representational and merges into open pictorial spaces.

The starting point is always a real photographic moment. Through the deliberate combination of old analog lenses with digital recording and processing, a unique visual language develops. Blur, overlays, and light artifacts are not flaws, but integral parts of the process.

My work moves between control and letting go, inviting you to see more slowly – less as a reflection of the world, but as a space for perception, resonance and inner experience.
