I am interested in what emerges between three photographs when they are brought together into a single composition, how independent images can create a new image that did not exist in any of them alone.

I photograph intuitively, following what draws my attention: small details, simple landscapes, fleeting moments. I do not photograph with these compositions in mind. Each image is made independently, with no intention of ever being placed alongside another. Only later do I begin to bring photographs together, discovering unexpected relationships through form, light and rhythm. In this process, the images begin to interact, changing the way each one is perceived. I print the photographs together, then tear them by hand and reassemble them into a single composition. Sometimes the tear runs between the photographs, becoming the point where they meet. Sometimes it appears only along the outer edge. In both cases, the tear does not separate the images, but marks a point of transition where the photographs begin to exist as a new, expanded image. The fragility of Japanese washi and the small scale of the prints make this act of joining visible. The boundary between the photographs remains part of the work.
