SPACE/TIME

My portraits are, on the one hand, about capturing an identity in a moment in time - a singularity in the form of a character. On the other hand they also remind us that they are part of the unstoppable struggle of existence itself.

​

I am continually interested in the strange, illusory nature of matter itself and it would not be an exaggeration to say that her artistic inspirations are more directly related to physics than to the schools of art influencing her technique.

 

I find inspiration in the scientific confrontation between the clarity of general relativity and the ambiguity of quantum mechanics, with the latter leading us to question the nature of everything we observe. While everything is crystal clear in one, uncertainty dominates the other. In one, time is fluid, while it yields to be defined in singular moments in the other. In one, there is a travel from one part to the whole, while the other is composed of particles with no apparent continuity.

 

In my latest series displayed here, named Space / Time, we encounter visions of the ruptures in the impermanent moment. In short, my portraits touch on the nature of individual identity and how we’re coded to try to de-code female beauty and success. I further try to absorb the audience with the depth of artistic craft designed to visually and physically uncover hints of the inexplicable in existence itself...
