Crossing Borders
Artist’s Statement
My work is about stillness and movement: the images are either a moment stolen in time or the beginning of a new story. It shows the visible -invisible limit, fit or unfit to be seen, the real borders of what we see from what we can’t see, what the pictures show from it and what they won’t. It show arrangements of things and people in spaces in which they are trapped or freed.
