Piece description from the artist
"I go to nature to be soothed and healed and to have my senses put in order." – John Burroughs
This thought guides me when photographing my minimalist series "Lightscapes". I compare the process while creating a piece to meditation. It requires calm, concentration and mindfulness on the part of the photographer. Reduced to its essence, memories and emotions, "Lightscape #4" reflects my deep desire to be one with nature, to feel its energy and vibrant life. It is inspired by Marc Rothko's abstract paintings.

“I want to reveal the soul of a landscape or an object, not by capturing a specific moment, but by showing its nature, its unique beauty, its poetry and its mystical mood.“ – Lena Weisbek
