Form of Connection

Form of Connection is a project at the intersection of photography, natural processes, and abstraction, exploring the interconnectedness of the human body and the environment.

The works are created using cyanotype, a process in which a light-sensitive surface comes into direct contact with nature. Water, sand, leaves, the movement of waves, and light leave traces on the surface, forming unpredictable images. In some works, these natural traces create autonomous abstract compositions; in others, the human body emerges, gradually merging with them and losing its distinct contours.

I am interested in a space in which humans and nature cease to exist as separate entities. The body becomes an extension of the landscape, natural traces acquire a corporeal quality, and abstraction brings them together in a unified visual environment. The recognizability of the figure recedes into the background, giving way to a sense of interconnectedness — a presence that cannot be separated from the world around it.

At the heart of the project lies the idea of touch — not only as physical contact, but also as an interaction capable of leaving a trace. Light touches the surface, water transforms it, sand obstructs the passage of light, and the body enters into a relationship with its surroundings. Each of these processes contributes to the formation of the image, while the work itself becomes the result of an encounter between different material and natural forces.

The trace left behind is not an exact record of what has occurred. It preserves a sense of presence without fully revealing it. The image exists between the material and the imagined, the recognizable and the indeterminate, between what can be seen and what can only be felt.

Form of Connection is an exploration of the invisible relationships that unite humans and the world. It is an attempt to sense a boundary that both exists and disappears when the body comes into contact with the matter that surrounds it.
