On the Sun’s Level 2

With my series On the Sun’s Level I explore looking down, which can be described as “top-down vision”. Shot in Brazil, I express my sensitivity to the worlds around me. It is also an inward-looking series on me identifying experiences as a mother. These images speak on how my vision exploded after giving birth and the abstract impact. 

With a vision now concentrated on looking close rather than far, I aim to recreate an almost child-like heightened vision of the world blurring the lines between raw observations and spatial awareness. 

But it's also about the cosmos. When I gave birth, I had a weird feeling that I was traveling through space. I think other mothers can relate to that. It's like death and rebirth. I had this feeling that I was in space on an odyssey, and now I also feel that I'm much more concentrated on when I see things I see worlds, maybe in tiny spaces. The series expresses the world and all its materials and colours.

Shown in chronological order in sets of nine, one image alone won’t expose itself, challenging conventional narratives with the authenticity of documentary incorporating aestheticised visuals. Each image invites the viewer to approach and interpret it from their unique perspective. Nine creates a photographic language of harmony where the little details leave an impactful sentiment.
