RESONANCE OF SELF
—
“Fresh Cut” explores the tension between domestic ritual and bodily autonomy. The composition evokes themes of transformation and self-observation, where light, shadow, and reflection act as silent witnesses. By staging the aftermath of an unseen gesture, the image invites contemplation on control, femininity, and the intimate theatre of private spaces.

“Growth” examines the body as a site of transformation and symbolic rebirth. Framed through tactile intimacy and botanical intrusion, the image reflects on vulnerability, cycles of healing, and the emergence of identity through physical and emotional thresholds.

Self-reflection through photography. What can I be? What do I like? Where does my beauty reside? What does my inner child look like? Experiments. Details. Flowers.

"Morphing Beauty" explores the concept of beauty, both internal and external. The work shows that studying oneself too closely reveals perceived flaws, and instead sets up a playful attitude towards one's appearance and self-knowledge through visual exploration. Video is made in the technique of mixed media, combining 3D elements, collages and visual effects. It highlights the playful aspects of self-perception, encouraging viewers to perceive their individuality with curiosity and creativity.

Pillow Talk explores the impossibility of inhabiting binary roles—virgin and whore, nurturer and object, soft and sexual. Rooted in the Madonna–Whore complex, the work examines how the female body becomes a site of projection, contradiction, and reprogramming. Through stillness, fragmentation, and symbolic layering, it resists resolution, insisting on multiplicity over coherence, intimacy over clarity, and presence over performance.

This artwork depicts the self-portrait in front of a mirror, captured on medium format film using double exposure. It is the self-forwarded monologue of the author in a state of searching for himself - the different one and the same one.

Eden is a series of analog photographs (2023) that explores intimacy as both a physical and mental space, navigating the tension between revelation and withdrawal. The project resonates with the theme of ephemerality by capturing suspended moments where time seems to dissolve into contemplation. Bodies and landscapes overlap and merge, evoking the fragility of memories, emotions, and sensations. Each image becomes a fragment of a secret garden, an inner world offered to the viewer yet always on the verge of vanishing. Ephemerality is embodied in the very materiality of photography—in the light that reveals the body, in the breath that moves through the frame. Eden invites us to feel, to slow down, to dwell in silence. It offers a poetic journey through the duality of the visible and the invisible, the inner and the outer, where the image becomes a threshold between the self and the world.

Nature merges with architecture, memory seeps into the present. A shadowed man, partially obscured, holding a cane or sword, embodies both strength and vulnerability. Tree projections suggest the unconscious surfacing. These images reflect how the environment shapes us as we shape it: emotion, memory, and perception flowing outward and returning, co-creating identity. The self is not fixed, but a feedback loop of inner states and external projections, always in motion, never fully complete.

Have you ever felt like you’re struggling to fit into a hostile environment—whether at work, among a group of friends with completely different interests, or in a new country? This image represents the photographer interpratation of the isolation and discomfort one might experience in such situations.

"A Decent Woman. Who will Find Her?" Proverbs 31:10-31) Everywhere and at all times there are regulations about who and what you should be as a woman. Religion plays an important role in this because our thinking is still based on it. With this series I do my best to free myself from what others (God, the Bible, the pastor, the minister, the mayor, my neighbor) think I should be.

An outtake from my project Held by Silent Weight. Held by Silent Weight explores the psychological, emotional, and physical spaces shaped by the quiet tension between routine and transformation. Rooted in the rhythms of domestic life, the work dwells in moments where comfort and stillness meet a subtle undercurrent of restlessness. Each photograph functions as a psychological gesture—objects, figures, and landscapes emerge as metaphors for memory, longing, and pivotal emotional thresholds. Wild, open spaces within the work serve as internal landscapes—simultaneously evoking the desire for freedom and the instinct to return to safety. These places become mirrors of a deeper search: a negotiation between the need for belonging and the weight of inertia. Rather than a straightforward documentation of domesticity, Held by Silent Weight is an emotional cartography. It traces the fragile balance between intimacy and disquiet, mapping the layered experience of finding home—both as a place and a state of being.

Zarah, as part of (Un)becoming., reveals a suspended moment of still identity. The portrait merges control and openness, holding space for ambiguity. Stripped from narrative context, the image invites silent dialogue between the viewer and the subject's presence.

Part of the (Un)becoming. series, Christa captures the essence of introspection. Through subtle gestures and a muted visual language, this image speaks to the complex balance of self-awareness and retreat, expressing a quiet resistance within the still frame.

This photograph is from Untold Fairytale, a project set in a private world shared only with my two daughters—a feminine fantasyland born from bedtime stories. In this space, identities shift endlessly: mother, witch, queen; daughter-child, daughter-doll. Nothing is fixed. Everything glimmers in transition. There is no final form, no neat conclusion. Just transformation, imagination, and the quiet magic of a world we made to survive.

The photograph explores the sensory perception of cold—not merely as sensation, but as a persistent emotional undercurrent and metaphor for inner tension. Embracing the medium’s raw unpredictability, I let imperfection echo experience. The image transcends temperature, becoming a psychological dimension—a quiet translation of the unseen. It captures a rare stillness: a fleeting moment where the intangible takes form within a practice shaped by emotional clarity and transformation.

This work explores the fragile boundaries between self and space, memory and perception. Through fragmented reflections, shadows, and atmospheric silence, each image suggests a subtle resonance of identity — not as something fixed, but as something constantly shaped by presence, absence, and light.

"Dissolution" shows a moment when the body stops feeling like home. Exhaustion, silence, and loneliness blur its edges, until it becomes only motion and fragile light. It is not a choice to disappear, but a quiet state when you lose the sense of yourself, dissolving into something larger than you, where presence and absence feel almost the same.

"Lost" is about the moment when the body stops being only yours. When it belongs to the earth as much as it belongs to you. It is not about disappearing, but about dissolving into something larger, where the boundary between self and nature quietly fades. In that silence, there is also a sense of being lost –a soft loneliness of existing in a world too vast to hold you back.
