Where the non-systematic side exists. No planning, no control, just observation and reflection. The part of my work that doesn't need to be structured.
Photography
The community studio I've been part of since 2024. This is where I develop and experiment with analog photography alongside talented photographers, screenprinters, and other artists in Berlin. It's not just a darkroom, it's a shared space where different practices overlap and people learn from each other's processes.
I worked as a lab helper for a few months, maintaining chemicals, managing the space, learning the technical side of darkroom work beyond just shooting. Been part of an organized collaborative exhibition, which showed me how analog practices function collectively, not just individually.

Understanding the sympathy of the other, the internal struggle visible through eyes.
Double exposure as the visual manifestation of trying to be understood - They can hear you
This serie reflects the duality of identity, exploring moments of reflection through the technique of double exposure. The play of light and shadow captures the tension between what is hidden and what is revealed.
It offers an intimate and unresolved meditation on the layered, messy beauty of being human. - Unified Ambiguities
Nature, nakedness, purity, elements I wanted to explore in this shoot. Nothing is planned.
We go, we try, bring it to life through the moment. - The soul under the shadow
The initial phase of a series of An ODYSSEY of a visual self DISCOVERY
Results lead to reflections. Double exposure as visual introspection, what is there with what remains.
Sun becomes glass, the person becomes shadow. - Walking between broken flowers made of glass.
- The face on the face.
Rest.
Analog shoot with Julia
Red, saturated, confrontational. Double exposure layering contrast on contrast light against shadow, gaze against gaze.
- Pogo in Berlin
White on black. Futurist brutalism meeting minimalist fashion. We wanted to create air in the space negative space as breathing room.
The architecture, the body, the garment all existing in deliberate distance from each other.
Black on white. Streets of Paris, natural light, perfect contrast. The minimalist uniform in motion.
