ARTIST'S STATEMENT
In my work I explore the themes of self-representation and gaze. Interested in photography’s ability to blur the notions of fiction and memory, I explore concepts of time and the reconstruction through memory. Intimacy and disconnection are themes that intrigue me. I have turned the camera onto my self and my close relationships. Psychological ambiguities become apparent when memory meets imagination and love and intimacy encounters longing and disconnection. Interested in the non-specificity of body (any body), I explore the transient– a body in space.
