My project starts with taking photographs of nature, creating landscapes and seascapes, and capturing moments, animals, and our surroundings, which are sometimes influenced by us humans. I capture things as they are.
I develop films in the darkroom and make scans. Then, I made a selection and printed it on 100% silk in different sizes. I sew silk scarves, and the other part of the project begins – photographing photographs. I bring silk scarves with me when I travel and capture them in their movements. I bring photographs to life; I take them out from walls. I place them in not obvious surroundings – a tree on the face, a garden on the head, a puddle in the desert, and a waterfall on the sand. I play around and find similarities between my old photographs and the places I visit now. I find similarities between how I used to see and how I see now.
The final piece of the project is three objects: 1) silk object, 2) a digital print of silk photographed in nature, and 3) a digital video of silk movement https://www.instagram.com/reel/ C4qlOhwo9ZI/ .
I want to focus on my observation, my way of seeing, and on the fabric that lets me explore it and bring back flat photography to life. Wet silk, dry silk, silk dried from seawater on the sun, crumpled silk, ironed silk, silk moved by wind, and silk stopped by the wind on human bodies. I explore it all, and I immerse myself in the fabric. My journey delves into the exploration of silk, the most precious fabric in its various states, reflecting the ever-changing flow of life itself.
