I am interested in the boundaries between memory and forgetting, the past and the present. In my photographs I explore experiences that remain a sad memory. Photographs provide me with a way of returning to the past and to examine my vague memories from a safe distance. This allows me to take a look within and learn to identify the shadows of the past. I try to combine the absurd simultaneous existence of the real and the unreal in my pictures – a place where beauty and trauma can meet.
