In my current visual practice, I explore the landscape through two distinct approaches. When traveling, I make photographs of expansive and awe-inspiring landscapes. However, with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, I found myself immersed in the creation of miniature landscapes. The vast contrast in scale profoundly influences our perception and experience of these environments. Whether simulated or real, the imaginative aspect always intertwines with the essence of the landscape.

Central to my exploration is an investigation into the role of the lens in shaping these experiences. I employ a diverse range of techniques, embracing both modern digital methods and traditional analogue photography. From crafting my own panoramic camera to utilizing 3D printing technology, I delve into the multifaceted realm of lens-based media. While photography traditionally carries the burden of proof, it also serves as a potent tool for preservation.

The theme of preservation extends to the 3D printing of models, a process intricately linked to lens-based media. This prompts a fascinating question: what unfolds when a world is captured through a lens, transformed into a 3D print, only to be re-photographed once again?

The resulting photographs encapsulate a world on the brink of disappearance, rendering them as images detached from tangible reality. Within the context of the Anthropocene, the epoch dominated by human influence, mountains metamorphose into monuments. The lens emerges as a powerful agent, possessing the capacity to immortalize these landscapes. What once evoked grandeur, godliness, or sublimity now exists solely as a captured image.
