A sports car appears in every picture and stays recognisable despite the layered surroundings. The images were made with digital photography and are produced as fine-art prints mounted on aluminium composite panels in limited editions.

Mirage de Parc Public Facilities

Mirage de Parc

Mirage de Parc is an architectural photography series made on Yeongjongdo Island in Incheon, South Korea. The images focus on the area under the monorail station in front of the Paradise City Hotel. Natural light reflected on structures and buildings creates effects that resemble a mirage. Curved yellow lines run through the wide space and shape each composition. The photographs were taken with a 35mm camera and tilt-shift lenses over nine months, at dawn and at sunset across the seasons. The series reflects the transformation of the island.

Hand Still Participatory Art

Hand Still

Hand Still is a participatory art project created to support well-being. Participants combine their hands and fingers to suggest a landscape or a creature, photograph the pose, give the image a title, and share the result on social networks with a common tag. Viewing the shared works and creating new ones is intended to increase creativity. Hand Still applies four factors linked to well-being: self-actualization and growth, connection and gratitude, a positive and optimistic outlook, and independence and self-identity.

Nue Art Work Project Photographic

Nue Art Work Project

Nue is a photographic artwork that shows wild weeds growing in urban surroundings. The image is produced as an inkjet print on cotton paper, measuring 1456 millimeters in width and 1030 millimeters in height. The digital photograph is carefully controlled in color and tone, so the result stands between photography and graphic art. Weeds are chosen as the subject because they survive in places strongly disturbed by human activity. Their uneven forms are presented as a reflection of human life. The title refers to a legendary Japanese creature of the night.

Jellybelly Artwork

Jellybelly

Jellybelly is a fine art photography series that portrays jellyfish. The images were taken inside a large aquarium at night, in complete darkness. Only a few artificial lights inside and outside the aquarium were used, giving the jellyfish a subtle glow. The series aims to capture the elegant movement and aesthetic of a species that is also an indicator of water quality. Each image is printed on fine art paper, mounted on aluminium and set in a black oak frame with a two centimetre shadow gap. Two limited editions are offered, sized 50 by 50 cm and 80 by 80 cm.

Pass On Photo Series

Pass On

Pass On is a photographic series built around the image of a message sealed inside a bottle. Each photograph is inspired by a single word, such as hope or fraternity, and represents that word through its meaning or through a real event. The same three elements, a message, a bottle and water, appear in every image, yet each theme is treated in a different way. Sets, special aquariums and specific mechanisms were built for the pictures. The digital images combine interference and image fusion, and are printed with inkjet on cotton paper.
