When live became elusive

My series deals with processes that challenge life through the dissolution of habitual female living conditions, the irritations that arise from this, and the need to deal with them and regain courage and hope. A series about the disappearance of life and time, neither reality nor dream and the necessity of letting go. The photographed motif is merely the initial starting point for my creative process. The digital superimposing of different motifs shows reality as interpretation and at the same time as irritation. Thus, something new emerges, born of the real yet detached from it.
