My work revolves around identity, vulnerability and love. I'm often my own protagonist in my series, this position making the work deeply personal. This is the case with Pictures From Bed (2017), a collection of intimate memories captured with phones along the years. This is an extract from a bigger series, a visual experimentation on textures and feelings around maybe the most personal place for everyone: the bed. I often combine fictional, non-fictional and auto-fictional elements, and try to stand on the thin line that separates ‘real life’ and art.
