The world we live in is increasingly a world of tensions and fractures. Familiar and established orders that give us a certain degree of security and predictability are vanishing, while new patterns, connections and dependencies are emerging. We are living in a world that is simultaneously dissolving and evolving.

The photo series follows the lyrical narrative form of paired verses and explores the tension that arises from the pairing of contrasting images. The series contrasts detailed perspectives of the disappearing world with inhospitable, sometimes surreal surface details of other planets in our solar system from the NASA archives.

Through their symbolism, the selected image excerpts convey varying degrees of emotional and cultural charge, inspiring associations and stories. The deliberately composed image pairs create an elegiac mood that makes the threat of dissolution and the unpredictability of the new tangible.
