Artist Statement
"I have no idea why these images exist.
All I know is that after each time I leave my home, I always come back with a bunch of photographs on my memory card. It has become an annoying habit I can’t kick. I have tried several times to go outside without a camera, only to get back home with my phone filled with photos. I have even tried leaving my phone at home, but then I walk around saving everything I notice in my mind. I have slowly started to accept that my eyes always will be on the hunt for the mystery that is hidden among the mundane things I encounter.
Because of this I always feel perplexed when someone asks what my images mean. I wish I could give them an exact answer, that I have some big important message behind my work. But my photos are simply a visual diary. They show what I saw and how I felt. It’s not a political or philosophical question that makes me secretly follow a person with my camera for several blocks, or photograph reflections in a car window until the sun goes down. I do it because of that childlike curiosity, which makes me want to explore. Searching in the world around me and within me.
I don’t know what I am doing or what I’m looking for. I have no idea why these images exist.
And I hope I never find out."
