-If she probes deep enough she will find contradictory things in the same place.-
That is what she feels while she is producing her works.
Contradictory things are light and dark, cold and warm, flow and standstill, etc. She captures such contrasts of my inner world, or more specifically her unconscious world in pictures of the outside world and combine them into a single thing.
Taking photos with a digital camera and superimposing layers in Photoshop feels more like painting than photography.Through this process her own self is drawn into the unconscious realm and becomes one with a greater flow.
Upon taking sight of the completed work the title will come to her, and her journey through the unconscious world will come to an end.
By venturing into the realm she is generally incognizant of she can look deeper into herself and open her eyes to the world.
