    Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Collage

I lose myself in the chaos of today's world. I need constant reminders of who I am. I need to know that I am still myself. This is how the “Family album” series was created. These are cut-out scenes from photos of my childhood, pasted in the form of a tattoo on my self-portraits. They function as a reminder that it is the past that shapes us, creates our present. It is like a tattoo - it cannot be removed. It doesn't have to be visible, we don't have to reveal it, but it will always stay with us.

Photographer looking for what is important and beautiful to her. In a constant pursuit of emotions, she passionately tries to find her place in the world of images. Addicted to melancholy and the past, she fights for her piece of the present. Graphic design student fascinated by visual communication, seeking to expand her knowledge in everything that concerns visual arts. Alternative photography lover, analog and darkroom user. Until now she tried her hand at forgotten processes such as cyanotype and vandyke bronze. She dreams of wet collodion and carbon transfer.
