Further information about the project "In Relation" (2024-)

In Relation is an ongoing long-term photographic project exploring intimacy, proximity and transformation within a relationship. The photographs return to small shifts in nearness and distance: how intimacy changes over time and how trust allows certain moments to appear.

The series remains close to quiet, negotiated moments: what is offered, what is withheld, what becomes visible and what remains private.

Trust can be understood as both method and theme here: it develops through consent and mutual attention and can be tested in subtle decisions.

The final image followed my partner’s decision to have her hair cut and donated for children who had lost theirs during cancer treatment. It may read less as an explanation than as a quiet marker of transition and decision.

The project is developed in close collaboration with my partner, whose agency and consent guide how the work is made and shown.
