Perception

Seeing is often assumed to provide certainty. This practice begins from the opposite premise: perception is active, incomplete and constantly negotiated.

The images deliberately occupy a threshold between recognition and abstraction. They invite viewers to oscillate between reading flowers as individual forms and experiencing them as larger structures of color, rhythm and light. Neither interpretation is presented as final. Instead, the work explores how meaning emerges through continuous acts of looking.

Lens-based processes are frequently associated with descriptiveness and visual certainty. Here, the medium becomes a way of questioning those assumptions. The camera records a scene, yet the resulting image often resists immediate resolution. Details appear and disappear, depth becomes ambiguous, and relationships between figure and ground remain fluid. The work asks not what is being depicted, but how perception itself constructs what is seen.

This instability is not intended to confuse. Rather, it reflects the dynamic nature of visual experience. Our understanding of an image shifts with distance, duration and attention. Looking becomes an ongoing process instead of a moment of recognition.

Across the practice, perception is approached less as a transparent window onto reality than as a constantly evolving dialogue between observer, image and world. The works invite repeated viewing, suggesting that certainty is often less revealing than sustained attention.
