TITLE: Mother and daughter

The love between mother and daughter, captured on a wedding party. It was dark, and I saw it might become an interesting picture without flash. The girl holds a kind of light stick in her hand, which illuminates both people just enough to create a very intimate sphere.

Artist’s Statement
My goal is to enhance the meaning of ordinary life. In the world around us, everything seems to be standardized. My intention is to disturb and disrupt, thus creating a discours on the meaning of nuance. I tell visual stories to produce a survival kit for the mind’s eye. < BACK TO GALLERY
