Personal Project

A still life setup to me is like a miniature theatre, one in which you can experiment with shapes, textures and light in order to create something unique. This small theatre is a creative playground where anything is possible and with a little imagination an ordinary object can be used to bring a character and a story to life. Through this project I want to express my love for nature and life, while trying to look at ordinary things from a new perspective.
