Fine Art nominee

This image deals with the way the outside world can physically hurt when having an High Sensitive Personality (HSP). Having an HSP personality myself, I use myself as a subject. HSP makes me want to hide from the world. Adding softness or layers to an image is also a way of coping. To do so, I use different materials. Embroidery especially gives me flexibility in my work and it also adds something soft to the image.

I studied for two years at Fotoschool Statief and there I learned the technical aspects of photography. From 2019 until 2023 I was part of Fotocollectief Utrecht. Within Fotocollectief Utrecht development was a key factor; every year different photographers were invited to teach and coach the group. In 2023 I was part of Storing Aub which offers a new impulse to artists. It is a place for research and experiments, depth and inspiring exchange with other artists.
