I like to work in a combination of nature and human elements. Sometimes we tend to forget that we are an essential part of nature and nature is an inseparable part of us. In photography I surround young women with natural motives, weaving leaves and berries from bushes into their hair. This creates an ornament – in its centre a delicate face cradled in a world of its own, a world of dreams. I create motives inspired by the Art Nouveau and our famous national artist Alphonse Mucha. This creates a unified motif where man and nature merge into one image. With this work I am reinforcing the contemporary theme of man and nature.
