Can the 2 dimensinal out off a more dimensional estonish me, attract my attention..
There is no story or theme around my work, there is nothing to say. No statements. Just Witness, Seeing and Experience. To me, a photo is like a painting or drawing, or installation/sculpture in the 2 dimensional. Questioning this and playing with all available to wonder around in 'reality'. They don't have to have a so-called grand vision or purpose.. They just happen out of being present.

It’s the promise of getting somethig in return that gives rise to ideas of good and bad, succes and failure.

The 3:4 ratio doesn't always attract me and gives other perspectives than I'm looking for. Challanges other ways of working. Also it might be some 'safe' ratio to me
