A way to describe my practice is that I am very interested in images. Images in their technical form, in their metaphorical form, in their connection with other means of language and communication, their history, and in the way they are made, used, edited, and displayed. This is why I work with photography, text, moving image, and sound  - and have created series, books, films, and installations. I am interested in asking questions about how a story of oneself is constructed [or deconstructed], thinking and reflecting about concepts of placeness in the world, personal storytelling, comfort, security and intimacy. Place is essential to me, whether it's a familiar one, an almost mundane one, or a figurative one. I tear it apart with images and create something out of it - a fictional place, almost. My aim is not to propose one-sided answers, but rather to let questions float and evolve as I see them as continuous processes that change over time, much like our experiences in life. I also aim to create a potential dialogue with each person who sees my works, a safe space to reflect on and explore these questions.
