Aluminum Eden
Aluminum Eden explores the fragile boundary between the natural and the manufactured—where desire, artifice, and spirituality intersect inside a constructed world. Each photograph is staged as a mythic encounter within a synthetic landscape, balancing the cool precision of metal with the vulnerability of flesh. Working with digital materials as both medium and metaphor, I build psychological environments that mirror humanity’s longing to recreate paradise through technology. The figures enact ritual gestures of communion, surrender, and transformation, evoking both intimacy and alienation. The series questions whether beauty can survive once nature has been re-engineered, or if redemption lies only in our capacity to feel within the artificial. My practice merges formal photographic discipline with painterly composition, continuing a lineage that regards the camera as an instrument of emotional sculpture—translating light, surface, and gesture into the language of spirit.The psychic afterimage of this fractured sovereignty continues in Between the Seen, where the body becomes the next site of concealment, revelation, and fragile theater.
