My concentration aims to bring the viewer back to their own school days and provoke a feeling of nostalgia. As High School is such a vital part of every person’s life, I use my photos to call forth the halcyon days of the viewer, while making them connect with the subject and its emotions concerning school, and recognize their personal feelings. Thus, my aim is twofold: I want each viewer to share the emotions of my subjects, while simultaneously having their own, individual memories elicited.

My work is a mixture of completely non-objective and abstract pieces influenced by specific words. After painting realistically for multiple years, I have made a stylistic move to non-realistic work intended to convey raw emotions using only brush strokes, minimal text and aesthetics.
