Project World of Smells and Tastes

In the project “World of Smells and Tastes” I remember my childhood: how my brother and I spent every summer with our grandparents, running through the grass with dew and being infinitely happy and carefree. 

Taking pictures of living plants and objects from the surrounding space, I create diptychs that transfer me to childhood memories. It’s as if I slow down in the modern pace of life and for a few moments I feel like a child. Looking at a white dandelion, I immediately imagine the same airy cotton candy. A bed of fresh green onions sends me to the dinner table with cutlery. And with my bare feet I feel wet grass after the rain and a dry prickly washcloth in the bathhouse. It becomes joyful and warm inside.

I want the viewer to plunge into the world of tastes, feelings and emotions associated with childhood with me, to feel the comfort of their home.
