In my “Sweet Illusions” project, I decided to look at compositions from a new angle for myself: to create a photo collage as an illusion, turning two-dimensional space into three-dimensional. Each work is a printed photograph of a food composition I previously created, the top of which I “finish” with real food details.
With my works I want to captivate the viewer, make a puzzle, and play with imagination. I wish the viewer to be completely immersed into the image and get carefree joy that we feel being children and exploring the world around.
My art is about finding the interesting in the simple and creating magic out of the ordinary. I like to create photographs where the viewer could see their own story. It could be a vivid childhood flashback or a modern life reflection.
The main characters of my works are everyday objects, food, and flowers - everything that is always at hand and that can be used without any restrictions. I love looking for unusual combinations. So, I turn plates into medieval outfits from paintings. Vegetables become funny animals, and daisies turn into ice cream.
