Artist Statement:
For me, photography has connection with language, harmony, sound and the invisible world. I work personal, intuitive and playful, looking for, collecting and composing a visual language in the style of journal photography. I am attracted to light, ambience, infrastructure, minimalism, and graphic tension, and use the city and my every day surroundings as a playground for my need of composing images. Before finding photography I worked in fashion, and has since I was a child made collages from magazines.
Photography fits me well, because of my fast energy and my need for visual harmonious satisfaction. I stage both myself, my surroundings and my images by alternative post production and video collages.
