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

In Relation is an ongoing long-term photographic project that began in 2024 and explores intimacy, proximity and transformation within a relationship. The work follows subtle shifts in nearness and distance, shaped by duration, trust and changing dynamics.

It is made during quiet, negotiated moments: what is offered, what is withheld, what becomes visible and what remains private. Trust functions as both method and theme; it develops through mutual attention and the subtle choices that shape each photograph.

Rather than presenting intimacy as a fixed state, the series considers how it changes over time through shared experience. It follows quieter forms of intensity that develop within the relationship, moving between closeness and distance, openness and vulnerability.

From a sensitive distance, I use repetition, restraint and observation in gesture, posture and visibility. Clearer moments alternate with concealment, movement and photographic interruption, reflecting how closeness can shift and remain partly inaccessible.

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

The final image followed her decision to have her hair cut and donated for children who had lost their hair during cancer treatment. Within the series, the photograph functions less as an explanation than as a quiet marker of transition, self-determination and resolve.
