Enso
“Enso” is a Japanese word meaning circle.
In Zen Buddhism the ‘Enso’ represents the material world
that continues endlessly without cessation, the continuity of life.
In this project I have observed daily life and its details. With my photographs I want to portray everyday scenes which I had experienced. Relationships that are important to me in my way of being: details, perceptions, colours and events. Recreating intense existential facts, I have explored the themes of life, death and rebirth in the everyday. I have portrayed in my images issues of beauty, love, lightness and heaviness. Simplicity is seen as the key for wholeness.
Questioning the beginning and the end of our existence. I have been taking pictures of the circle of nature; the innocence of kids playing with sand, the ashes representing where we come from and where we are going in life and in death, the emptiness and the fullness.
