ARTIST STATEMENT

​

In my work, I explore the boundaries between the already open and new interpretations, rethinking familiar images and experimenting at the intersection of photography, art and science. I work with analog photography, using double and multiple exposure techniques, as well as montage to create multi-layered, metaphorical images.

​

These methods allow me to show another side of reality - the one that is usually hidden from view. I am interested in the unobvious, the repressed, the forgotten. In my works, I work with themes of memory, dreams, illusions - those states in which the line between the imaginary and the real is almost erased.

I am inspired by surrealism, the mystical atmosphere of Haruki Murakami's books and cinematography. My photographs are like dreams, where previously seen images are superimposed on each other. It is as if I am re-collecting memories, transforming them into a new visual reality.

I am convinced that art has no boundaries - everything can become art if you find the right way of presenting it and fill it with meaning. My projects are designed not only to inspire, but also to expose both internal and external problems, to make you think about the invisible but important aspects of existence. Through visual experiments, I strive to prove that the new is always born from the old, that even familiar things can open up in a new way if you look at them from a different angle.
