With Interiors, I wanted to push my work in a new direction-something more internal, more focused on how we experience space on both a physical and psychological level. Over the years, I've explored depth and movement through lenticular photography, but this time, I turned my attention to small, constructed environments-miniature worlds that play with scale, structure, and perception.
Each piece in Interiors started as a meticulously built miniature, made from balsa wood and mixed materials. These aren't just models; they're spaces designed to create a particular tension-somewhere between enclosure and openness, familiarity and the unknown. When viewed through the lenticular medium, they shift and evolve as you move, creating a fluid, ever-changing experience.
Lenticular Photography: A Unique Approach to Depth and Movement
Lenticular photography isn't just about taking a picture-it's about depth, movement, and perception. Using multi-angle imaging and specialized lenses, I create pieces that appear to change as you move around them. The result is a three-dimensional optical effect that challenges our understanding of static space.
For Interiors, this technique enhances the feeling of spatial ambiguity, making these small environments feel expansive one moment and enclosed the next. It's a constant shift-like memory, like time, like the way we navigate the spaces around us.
The Role of Architecture in Optical Art
There's definitely an architectural influence at play in this series. Minimalism, abstraction, and even elements of deconstructivism shaped how I approached these forms. You might see echoes of Donald Judd's geometric precision or the fluidity of Zaha Hadid's structures, but I wasn't looking to reference architecture directly. Instead, I was exploring how space affects us-how it shifts depending on where we stand, how we move, how we perceive it.
How Interiors Challenges Perception
One of the big questions I kept coming back to was how we navigate space-not just in a physical sense, but emotionally and psychologically. We tend to think of our surroundings as fixed, but our perception of them is anything but.
That's what Interiors explores-the idea that space isn't just something we exist within, but something we actively interpret and construct in our minds.
Final Thoughts
This series has been an exciting challenge, and I hope it invites viewers to rethink how they experience space-not just in the gallery, but in their daily lives. Interiors is less about answers and more about opening up new ways of seeing.
