Artist statement

In my photographic work I explore the quiet tension and fragile resilience found in the natural world. The images of twisted, fallen, and reaching trees are not merely studies of form, but meditations on the intersection of chaos and balance, decay and endurance. Shot in the obscuring shroud of fog or stark night, the forest becomes both a physical place and a psychological space, where the viewer is invited to confront a sense of uncertainty and unease.

The bent trees and organic contortions evoke a language of survival. These forms, sometimes graceful, sometimes grotesque, are records of time's slow violence—weather, wind, gravity, and growth pulling life into unexpected shapes. Their curves and distortions speak to adaptation rather than defeat, illustrating nature’s capacity to change according to circumstances and environment.

My intention is not to romanticize nature but to acknowledge its raw, often uneasy beauty. These images are about seeing what is usually passed by—moments of stillness where disorder and elegance coexist. Through this work, I invite viewers to slow down and recognize the silent dramas playing out in the woods, asking not just what they see, but how it makes them feel. In the gnarled limbs and atmospheric spaces of the woodlands, there is a mirror held up to the human experience—distorted, weathered, and still, undeniably alive.
