My work speaks to Environment. I’m drawn to this theme because nature has always been both my subject and my refuge. It matters now more than ever as we face how fragile our relationship with the earth has become. Through in-camera double exposures, I merge people with landscapes to show that we’re not separate from nature—we are nature. My art is a reminder of that connection, and a quiet challenge to value it before it’s lost.

"I wanted to compress an entire pine forest into a bottle. I photographed the jar and then overlaid a dense Finnish forest via in-camera double exposure. The mood is dark and introspective, as if you’re holding a private woodland."

Adrift in the Reeds captures the experience of drifting through wetlands. I layered my subject and reeds in‑camera as a double exposure. The ethereal image invites us to feel at one with fragile aquatic ecosystems.

"I merged a child’s profile and branches via in‑camera double exposure. Branches follow the neck and shoulders like a spine, grounding the figure in light. This is a meditation on how trees support us."

Here two slender pines rest inside a jar. Using in‑camera double exposure, I photographed the jar and then layered the trees, allowing them to lean toward one another. The minimal composition feels intimate and speaks of companionship.
