Nobody Likes Plastic Roses              (2024 – ongoing)

The series explores the reality of experiencing a romantic relationship in today’s world. Often transient, fleeting and capricious, the photographer wants to use light, shadows and also the characteristics of the medium to capture the feeling between the real and unreal, an analogy for her own interpretation of love and dating in Berlin. The quiet aesthetics of the images often create a feeling of emptiness and the play with light and shadows can be both electrifying and mystical.

In this case, photography expresses her ideas not only visually but the use of the medium adds another layer to the concept of the project. The indexical link between the photo and the object taken creates the trace of that-has-been, giving the series a melancholic feeling of the photographer’s expression using the medium.
