Açıklama

My practice begins where the body stops being a subject and becomes a medium. For over two decades I have photographed the nude not to expose but to transform — working with skin as landscape, architecture, relic, and light. The body in my photographs is never only present; it is always becoming something else.Each series opens a different threshold. UnNude figürü heykelsi bir geometriye indirger. Chimera Hasarlı aynalar ve yansıtılan ışık aracılığıyla kimliği kırarak, yalnızca maruz kalma anında var olan anatomiler üretiyor. Antemortem kaybolmadan önce boşlukta kalır. Lucida vücudu ultraviyole ışıltısı içinde eritir. Ekoton figürü deri ile toprak, insan ile insan olmayan arasındaki eşiğe yerleştirir. Motus records the body in duration rather than in the frozen instant.I work primarily in-camera. The distortions in Chimera fiziksel aynalardan gelir. Bulanıklık Motus uzun pozlamadan kaynaklanır. İçindeki pigmentler Lucida react to light in the room, not in software. This is not a rejection of digital tools but a commitment to presence — to being in the room when the image happens, to working with light and time rather than correcting them after the fact.The work is not pursued as provocation. It is pursued as attention — a sustained looking that treats the body as the ground of perception itself, rather than as an object to be consumed.
