Beth – Poethic Explorations

„Beth“ ist not a portrait of a single woman, but is an emerging lyrical archetype guiding my exploration into the aesthetic echos of female poetry and strength in the context of art photographie. Each photo tells a story about my subject and the human experience. My quest is for an expression of emancipated femininity, with entails a strong and independent vibrancy as well as the courage to be vulnerable and emotional. Beth moves through the poetic landscapes of my surreal imagery, which tells of vitality, longings and the alchemy of magic and fantasies. She is daring, succeeds in all her endeavors, even flying, and has the prowess to command her visions and follow the language of her heart. "Beth" personifies a poetic utopia of sensual world experience, an all-encompassing state that unites emotions, body and spirit. In this way the imagery becomes visionary. It is important for me to invite the universal tenderness of the soul which longs to be lived and to be loved to emerge in my work. A physical and spiritual unity that goes hand in hand with intuitive sensual aspects of humanity and womanhood, which is unfortunately still suppressed in many ways in our culture and society. In this sense, these works are an expression of my struggle for a human identity which also nourishes the potential for social change. I create new poetic worlds that invite the viewer to come in and experience beautiful ways of seeing their own potential. But, my images are not supposed to look nice, they are supposed to make you feel something.
