ARTIST STATEMENT

Girl

Colors and sounds, scents, and temperatures.
Tranquility, dryness, sadness, shivers. Light and shade.
This is a record of a chain of mental images and emotions that passes through our dreams as we sleep.

I can remember, but cannot see.
But, I’m pretty sure this is how they felt.

Photographer’s statement

They say that while people are sleeping they sort through all the information they acquire in their daily life—colors and sounds, scents and temperatures. Delight and sorrow, tranquility and impatience. The person you met once upon a time, the vista you saw once upon a time. Information deemed necessary is kept; information deemed unimportant is discarded. When we remember this sorting process, we call it a dream. Dreams fade at a rapid rate from the instant we open our eyes and develop as if they were distant, old memories. This collection is the photographic output of such a series of mental images and emotional memories.

This is a record of memories I can remember but cannot see.
But, I’m pretty sure this is how they felt.
