Experimental nominee

This series, Wundervei, comprises nature photographs created through photography and digital manipulation. Inspired by my childhood experiences of the natural world, this series visually depicts my emotional experience when exploring natural spaces, aiming to encourage people to rediscover a deeper connection between themselves and our natural environment through sheer visual pleasure and appreciation. By considering the role of photography and painting in representing nature, and in turn, our experiences and recollections, this series also aims to question the belief that the medium of photography is a mechanical process and is a tool for depicting realism with a visual description devoid of any human soul or subjectivity, leading the viewers to reconsider photography as an art form that may be used for personal expression on par with the other fine art.
