Reflections

The series explore light, shadow, and quite human presence through a dreamy, contemplative aesthetic and cinematic, introspective approach. Through layered mirror and glass reflections and soft, refracted light, the women appear suspended between reality and perception, where gentle emotion meets timeless stillness.

Hommage

The series is inspired by the old master’s masterpieces and explores theme of illumination, echoing Vienna’s historic legacy of symbolism.

The light refractes, shimmeres, turning the model into a painter’s muse and creates the interplay between art, viewer, and light refractions.
