EXHIBITION TEXT

Intimistic and sometimes ambiguous, often on the verge of the banal and the ordinary, the images of the series function independently in most cases. In a few instances, they are grouped into dyptics or tryptics, but these groupings are not to be read as if they were forming narrative sequences. Rather, they are denser moments, more intense atmospheres and ambiances.
