Within this work, a form of surrealist layering emerges, inspired by analogue slide projections of the past. At that time, images were not simply displayed but projected over one another, where they blurred and merged into composite realities, at times defying strict photographic and technical conventions.

This idea forms the basis of my project : photography as a space where images never settle, but merge, drift and transform into one another.
Rather than accumulating, the images fade into each other.

Stand and Stare invites the viewer into a slow act of looking, until the image begins to redraw itself within a reality that is always in motion.

This process often starts while taking the photograph : an intuitive feeling for which images or elements can merge into a dream where time and logic fade.

In post-production, this deepens through the quiet dialogue between images, gently drifting together, colliding, dissolving, contrasting, or overwhelming one another.

The layered image slowly unfolds into a new photographic reality, where chance, light, and distortion begin to lead the way.

What emerges is not a fixed story, but a photographic poem, not a word, but an image that speaks through what is felt, seen, and quietly experienced together and apart.

An image to linger in, to return to, to drift through, leaving space for each viewer’s own interpretation, for wandering, for surrender.

Nothing needs to be perfectly photographed, the feeling within the image becomes the essence.
