Living in the age of the Industrial decline, I photograph defunct amusement parks, transformed organic objects and mental hospitals seen through a fantastical lens. My work talks about the everlasting disenchantment of escapism and how cyclical forces of nature can triumph.
I think there is a subtle space between time and memory, where materials continuously exist in unusual ways. I am navigating through landscapes and rooms that capsulate objects of identity, hope, trauma, entertainment and comfort. I visit these places to experience how light moves through the spaces and how unspoken energy remains. I feel that I either describe allegorical scenes that hold hidden narratives or I isolate textured and formal objects with a sympathetic view on absurdity and the grotesque.
