ICON

I’d like to photograph the soul, but that damn thing won’t sit still

ICON questions the possibility of representing people in portrait photography.

The series explores the boundaries of photography as a medium

that both documents the physical presence of its subject

and engages in the search for a deeper, immaterial truth.

It examines the possibility, or impossibility, of capturing the essence of a person.

By creating portraits through experimental photographic techniques,

they enter into a dialogue between body, time, movement, and space

through fragmentation, liquefaction, and color dynamics.

Drawing on semiotic concepts and icon painting,

the work points to the incomplete and fragmentary nature of human perception.

The portraits appear as approximations of their subjects, never fully captured.
