DISQUIETUDE

Disquietude is an ongoing project on visualising my restless state of mind. When i'm exploring a new environment I always have a feeling of uneasiness. A strong urge of wanting to know what's beyond the horizon and getting distracted by other interesting objects. While exploring I can't be in all these different places at the same time. Combining different scenes into one image gives me the freedom to visualise what's going on inside my head.
At the most fundamental level, my photography is more about place than it is about people, whether those places are near where I live or far far away. In addition to location however, I also introspect and reflect on the overall feel of where I am, this in combination with my own personal impressions of the moment.
In my fine art images, the compositions are more about feeling, conveying a sense of disquietude or uncertainty as well as the idea that memories are not always clearcut images of the past. In order to materialize these conceptions, rather than present specific individual images, I combine or reconfigure various aspects or fragments into a whole.
In contrast to my fine art work, my environmental series are more focused on physical characteristics of wherever I happen to be, on exploration, and on particular scenes or settings. But then, similar to my fine art work, I lace these images with memories, feelings and atmospheric recollections in order to convey my overall state of mind at the time. Regardless of circumstance, my photographs are more than simple visuals or documentations of physical appearance at specific points in time. Rather, my purpose is to convey the totality of personal experience through my work.
