Since I come originally from the world of translation and theater, I find myself as a photographer obsessed with visually translating abstract concepts. And while there are a million ways to communicate concepts like time or pain, I find myself going back to long exposure. Since I started teaching myself about different photographic techniques, I found myself drawn to long exposures.
In this case it was pain. For the past one and a half years I have been living with pain, that got worse every day. I was really interested in finding a way I can give an onlooker an idea about what pain might look like. Between the repeated body pattern and the abstract exposures, there is a line, a very fine one that separates tension from breakdown.
In a way this is an artistic x-ray, that exposes something beyond what we see with our eyes.
