A Silent Portrait of the Forgotten" invites observers to witness the beauty and poignancy inherent in the delicate symphony of recollection, where the fading echoes of a lifetime's memories linger in the profound silence of Alzheimer's embrace.

AUTHOR: Jennifer Baron (Netherlands)

Jennifer Baron (1971) is a Dutch photographer and artist based in Amsterdam. After a long career in education, she decided to pursue her passion for photography and visual arts. Her creative journey led to the publication of her debut book, Frozen August, followed by her second book, Echoes of the Unseen. In both works, Jennifer combines sketches and drawings with photography, crafting layered visual narratives that invite reflection and introspection.

Jennifer’s work is a visual dance, inviting the viewer to explore the subtle balance between the tangible and intangible, the distant and the immediate. Through these contrasts, a powerful tension emerges, encouraging viewers to explore their own emotions and memories. She believes that black-and-white photography uniquely captures the raw essence of human
emotions, creating a space for viewers to add their own colors and interpretations.

“I translate my feelings into my work by touching on universal themes such as grief, trauma, loss, and healing. Every image contains an autobiographical element; I make visible the experiences, pain, and traces left behind. In my work, abstraction alternates with intimacy, with emotion as a constant thread.”

With a deeply personal approach, Jennifer’s work not only reflects her own journey but also invites others to explore their own vulnerabilities and stories.
