Selected works (after "HESTER)

I work with female models in staged environments, creating worlds without linear logic or fixed narrative—spaces that unfold like dreams.Over the past twenty years, two photobooks have been published: NOISE (2008) and HESTER (2021). The works included in these books do not belong to two separate series, but rather form a continuous body of work, reflecting both my development and transformation, as well as the elements that have remained constant throughout my practice.HESTER brings together photographs made between 2008 and 2018. The title refers to one of the images in the book and is drawn from the character Hester in A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. I am drawn to this fictional figure for her intensity—she is extroverted, aggressive, and chaotic, yet also sensitive, loving, and magnetic. With affection, I could call all the women in my photographs “Hester.”The works submitted were created after the publication of this book, continuing along the same trajectory. The anonymous women in my images balance on a fragile threshold—between the childlike and the sensual, the vulnerable and the destructive, the playful and the tragic.
