Anchors

Thinking of and working with the notion of silence the desert slowly became my focus. The desert is not only a place where it’s literally quiet, but can also be interpreted as a metaphor for silence; it’s where a specific place and a ‘state of mind’ comes together. But, to me being in silence is a two-sided experience; it brings me closer to myself, yet at the same time it is frightening to look at. Confronted with the vastness and silence of the landscape I was looking for something to hold on to in the images I was making. A branch, a rock, a tree, a house, an anchor.
