Mind Games
What do you see here?*
There is a psychological phenomenon known as pareidolia: the mind’s instinct to find meaning, form, and narrative where others may see none, or something else entirely.
Within this body of work, I deliberately abandon the role of storyteller. The image holds absolute sovereignty. Interpretation is left open, unresolved, as an invitation to be completed only by the beholder.
It is the viewer who assembles the pieces of an oneiric puzzle, transforming my dream-like compositions into a creation entirely their own. In this exchange, a single photograph contains not one image, but an infinite number of them. Each one unique to the eye that receives it.
The moment of magic occurs when someone sees precisely what I saw. For this reason, I conceal my own perspective deliberately. Titles are withheld, or made difficult to reach so that nothing contaminates the purity of that private encounter between image and mind.
