"Form itself, even if completely abstract, has its own inner sound."
Wassily Kandinsky
A Map of Forgotten Dreams
Photography, at its essence, is an act of revelation—an unraveling of what is seen and, more profoundly, what is felt. In my work, I use abstraction as a means of self-exploration, peeling away the tangible world to expose the ineffable. Through the deconstruction of form, light, and texture, I seek to create images that function as emotional landscapes, portals into the subconscious where meaning remains fluid and interpretation is deeply personal.
My photography is not about likeness but presence—the imprint of my internal state rendered in shadow, distortion, and fragmentation. I approach my images as psychological maps, tracing the contours of memory, longing, and transformation. By manipulating elements of the photographic process—blurring, layering, and embracing chance—I allow the unexpected to emerge. It is in these moments of unpredictability that the most profound truths surface.
Inspired by the ephemeral nature of dreams and the intangible resonance of classical music, I craft compositions that waver between recognition and obscurity. Texture becomes language; light, an echo of emotion. I often integrate movement into my practice, allowing gestures to dissolve into spectral traces as if capturing the passing of time itself. My images are not meant to provide answers but to ask questions—inviting the viewer to step into their own inner landscapes and find fragments of themselves reflected in the abstraction.
In The Map of Forgotten Dreams, I embrace photography’s ability to transcend reality, using it as a conduit for the unseen and the deeply felt. By shedding the constraints of representation, I create work that pulses with ambiguity and mysticism, revealing the hidden poetics of the human experience. Through this process, I do not just capture images—I surrender to them, allowing them to speak in ways language cannot.
