The artist who captures nature's healing essence
Instead of capturing a literal reality, I delve into the layers of emotions that help people move over grief and elevate their sense of well-being. Through my photography, I explore the transformative theme of 'Over', merging nature and art to create spaces for healing and reflection.
Transitions and Continuity
In 2012, my life faced significant transitions when my mother informed me of her critical health condition. The subtle symptoms she had were severe, introducing a period marked by continuity of hope and fear. Following her passing due to lung cancer, and shortly after my father's similar fate, I experienced the pain of moving over such losses. Their memory remains a daily presence.
During these difficult moments, I realized the journey of moving over such experiences.
"I never imagined the profound healing impact photography would have on me, but it was during the difficult time of my parents' passing that I truly rediscovered it."
Healing Through Nature and Art
After my parents' passing, I turned to photography as a means to transition over the most challenging period of my life. Escaping reality through lens, I found solace in capturing nature's intricate details. Nature's transitions became my inspiration, facilitating healing and offering a refuge over life's complexities.
Circle of Life
In 2017, I embraced a course that helped develop my style, drawing inspiration from Paulo Coelho's 'Circle of Life'. This exploration led to a series encapsulating dreamy and symbolic transitions. My work now prominently features themes of life and death, reflecting the journey over various phases. The series helped me solidify my style and the messages of resilience and hope I want to convey.
"In the quiet details of nature, I found the strength to heal, capturing beauty through my lens when words fell short."
A story of ice and water
Success in art is about capturing depth and universality. My photography invites viewers to transition into imaginative worlds, going over the bounds of reality. Abstract art encourages creativity and well-being, with natural elements like water and ice embodying life's continuous transformations.
