ZEN
-
This series explores a meditative and contemplative approach to photographing the natural world. The work seeks to evoke feelings of peace, serenity, and spiritual grounding while encouraging the viewer to slow down and mindfully spend time with the images. The photographs, presented in black and white, reduce the visual information and allow greater attention to the natural lines, shapes, textures, and forms within each image.
The series is influenced by Zen philosophy and by the experimental films of Japanese artist Takehisa Iimura, whose work often embraces simplicity, duration, and contemplation. These influences have shaped my interest in creating images that are less about documenting a specific moment and more about conveying a feeling or emotional experience.
