PRESENT WORK

Currently I am in the process to develop a body of photographic work titled ” Borderlands: the edges of Europe”.

Over the past year I have photographed in Imatra, border between Finland and Russia, as well as on the border between Greece and Turkey.

Within my practice borders are scrutinized in their overlapping configurations as a political, geographical and cultural entities.

My practice investigates trans-national and trans-cultural identities and their relationship with concepts of home and belonging. My photographic images identify landscapes striated by boundaries and borders, marking a series of thresholds crossed by the photographer.

In my work you sense the embodied presence of the journey through these territories: arrival, stay and departure. The manner in which I articulate this experience is a key part of the narrative, which outlines strategies of interaction with the landscape and the people encountered during these journeys. The empirical nature of these encounters is underscored by a detailed and complex understanding of the social, cultural and ethnographic entities which each territory presents.
