The world is not what we see. I believe that reality is built up in layers. Incidents in the past melt together with the present and are shaping the mold of the future.
The dreams, anger, and failures of our ancestors are still out there, in and around us. To develop an awareness to this not insignificant sensory input is essential. The more we let it interact with our system, the more we are able to increase the transformative powers creating a promising future.
There is tragedy in our history but there is also bravery. With my photographical technique I am visually weaving a layer structure, reflecting an emotional environment that triggers unused parts of the brain to reconnect. What matters is the ability of decisiveness. We are romantic beings looking for integrity. With the aura of this body of work I am returning a lost piece of a puzzle to the global society consciousness.
