Aspects from personal life and daily perception get intertwined with
elements from image culture. These various sources go through a recycling
process in a collage-like manner.  In the same way a dream works, many
impressions are transformed into a synthesis of reality.

In the work ŒInside, into the frame¹ , references to a certain architecture
interplay with home footage and cinematic samples. Visual layers are built,
different layers of meaning appear. A structure is created, a framework,
wherein different situations occur. There is an interaction between these
situations and the framework. A tension between exterior and interior. It
tells us something about how we experience perception. The work deals with
the perception of space, whether it¹s mental or formal.
