Collection concept:
Inspired by various interpretations of afterimage, an image that continues to appear in the eyes after a period of exposure to an original image, I wanted to capture ephemeral layers of everyday encounters and convey a dynamic fragility of a passing moment. Seeking different ways of transferring images and their atmosphere into objects I let the piece guide me to its creation by experimenting with materials and techniques, such as laser engraving, enamelling, CNC milling or powdercoating. Afterimage is a distorted and overlapping collage of visuals, materials, emotions, and memories. The viewers can discover imagery and feelings they relate to in this play of light and shadow.
