SEEING BEYOND THE VISIBLE
Photography, to me, is more than representation. It is perception, reflection – a space between reality and imagination. Through computer-generated montages, I explore the tension between what is real and what is constructed. I layer, combine, and shift visual elements. In doing so, I create images that reveal what lies beneath the surface – moods, fractures, memories.
My camera is not only a tool for seeing, but a way of thinking. It helps me trace subtle signs and design new visual connections.
In my work, technology meets intuition, analysis merges with emotion. Composition becomes a process of searching – quiet, precise, and multilayered.
To be a photographer means to live attentively – with open eyes for the unnoticed and a sensitivity to what doesn’t immediately reveal itself.
