Artist Statement

I am interested in the transformative possibilities of photographing the interactions of light with glass, embracing their fluidity and versatility. Glass as a medium that refracts and reflects light acts is a portal that turns the invisible into shape unavailable to the naked eye.  With a unique approach to photography and photo arts media, I aim to challenge the viewer's perception of photography and push the boundaries of the medium where the process, at times, thins the border between the visual and other sensory modalities. My creative process always starts with a self-made photograph of light or a combination of several photos that I transmute into something completely new. I appreciate the element of chance and intuition and prefer not to have preconceived ideas about the final product where my mind is free to roam, immersed in my creative space.
