Nido

Working with photography, the artist explore how memories and perception are affected by mental illness, reflecting on the duality of the forest as a place to find peace, in contrast with facing loneliness and vulnerability. This project portrays the unsettling feeling of walking through a silent vast forest, while “its presence” stalks. Illustrating the forest presence as a living being by drawing in the dark, transforms its appearance in haunting ghosts.

KNOKLENE BLIR TIL TRÆR / LOS HUESOS SE TRANSFORMAN EN ÁRBOLES

ESPINA is a Photobook made during an artist residency in Valparaíso, Chile.
This publication portrays the street, focusing on fences as a tense limitation between what's private and public. Observing how walls and barbed wire merge with local spiked vegetation, I reflect on how aggressive aspects of these barriers have a unique beauty that provokes nostalgia and positive emotional responses in me.

RISO printed in 4-colours and hand-bound in an edition of 50 copies.
