Stirring the air with my Diana Plastic Camera and Zeiss Ikon Contessa camera.
Inspired by a recent visit to the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. The exhibition, ‘In the troubled air’, curated by Georges Didi-Huberman, where the beginning of Federico García Lorca's Romance de la luna, luna and his concept of duende inspired the entire exhibition. - a place where intense images are able to stir the atmosphere.
BEAUTIFUL AGE what we never SEE, even though we are looking

An ode to my mother.
I feel life is going by so quickly and my love for her glows warmer in the glory of winter light, sensing her departure is near. We live together now in a house built long ago. Cluttered and utterly beautiful I imagine this house without her and feel a lamenting, lilting sway of sadness.
There is something intensely quiescent and yet readily available within her gaze. We are both feeling the defeat of time and I aim to reveal a soul that is warrior-like and ageless, and yet not timeless.
YOUR child, MY child, EVERYONE’S child

My current project is a deeply personal exploration of grief and loss surrounding a child that never came to be. It examines how grief imposes its demands and reimagines family structures. The narrative is intentionally cryptic yet rich, aiming to evoke complex emotions and challenge viewers to confront the latent losses and desires in their lives.
Through this work, I highlight the profound longing and yearning to become parents—experiences often overlooked in a society focused on traditional family units. Celebrations like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day take on a different meaning for us, filled with unique emotions that prompt reflection.
By sharing our story, I seek psychological relief and collective strength, addressing the question, “If not a mother or a father, then who are we?” Ultimately, the project aims to create an atmosphere that encourages viewers to engage with their own experiences of loss and desire, fostering a deeper understanding of what it means to navigate life as an outlier in a family-centric world.
