ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is mostly photography based, with some mixed media pieces in between. I'm interested in the notions of personal freedom vs cultural norms, relating also to women's issues and feminine experience. Another big theme for me is the concept of reality, how it is perceived and filtered, and how it is in constant fluctuation between me and you and between what was and what will be.
I'm intrigued and fascinated by the technical aspects of the photographic medium, and in my work I seek to experiment with and push the boundaries of conventional photographic technique. My process of mechanical experimentation (in camera) combined with digital experimentation in the post processing phase, frees the photograph from the constraints of documenting reality as we usually know it.
