GOLD for b/w series UNDERGROWTH

Undergrowth, shrubs and dense thickets become a visual space in which pareidolia (apophenia) can unfold. Faced with the seemingly random and without any fixed meaning, the imagination begins to form its own images and connections. Shapes emerge from beneath the surface, offering fleeting glimpses into unstable inner worlds before shifting, fading and disappearing again.
