Photomanipulation nominee

Since March 2019 I took about 8.000 photos in my studio and around. I experimented with clay, wire, wood and so many more materials and objects. Just to name some things, I covered a chair in concrete and glued around 1000 pearls on fabric. I bent candles, grinded stone for weeks and smashed a lot of beautiful ceramics just to photograph the shards. All to finally understand one thing:
“Breaking the boundaries means breaking my own boundaries in first place. Dismiss all restrictions. Exhale everything.Start again.”
Finally in June 2020 I released a new body of photographic works. But as a side-effect also objects and poems I will not release yet. Everything was part of the journey. Part of the process. And today I can honestly say that I couldn’t be more thankful for this experience. Here you see an excerpt of this series called 'Fire without a Sound'.
