“Traces of a Search”

My photographic work is an exploration of reality and the question of how we perceive, experience, and understand the world.

I do not understand the world as merely the sum of things, but as a complex web of relationships and connections between people, objects, and spaces. Their meaning emerges not only from what they are in themselves, but also from how they relate to one another and how we perceive them.

Shaped by my own life experiences, I am particularly interested in the freedom that comes from not accepting the world as something fixed and unchangeable. We can continually reconsider which relationships we perceive, how we connect things, which structures we establish, and what meanings we assign to them. In doing so, we do not necessarily change the material conditions of the world, but we can change the relationships, structures, and meanings through which we experience it. For me, this represents a fundamental human freedom: we are not merely subject to our experience of the world; we can actively shape it.

In my photographic work, I am particularly drawn to the spaces in between, to transitions, and to those moments when familiar structures lose their apparent certainty and new connections begin to emerge.

My photographs can be understood as fragments of a search for new possibilities. At the same time, they reveal the fragility of seemingly stable structures. People appear present yet remain inaccessible. Spaces seem to exist while resisting any clear definition. Familiar relationships dissolve as new connections emerge. In these moments of transition, it becomes apparent that the way we order and understand the world is neither self-evident nor unchangeable.

As an artist, I see myself as both a seeker and a creator. I search for constellations in which familiar structures lose their apparent certainty, and through my photographic vision, I create new relationships and connections of meaning.

My intention is not to replace an existing order with a new one, nor to prescribe an alternative way of experiencing the world. Rather, I seek to reveal the fragility of seemingly self-evident structures and, in doing so, point towards the possibility that we can continually reshape our experience of the world through the relationships we establish, the structures we create, and the meanings we assign.

For me, the creative power of art lies in dissolving the apparent certainty of the world and opening up new possibilities of seeing and understanding.
