CROCHET IN ABSTRACTION

(excerpt from artist statement)
Originally, I envisioned this project as a contrast between documentary-style progress images and an editorial, high-fashion final look. But after capturing the first few shots, I felt uninspired—the images didn’t challenge me or push my photographic style forward. Experimenting in Photoshop changed everything. I played with blend modes, backgrounds, and bold color treatments, transforming the work into something more dramatic and unexpected. What began as a straightforward documentation evolved into a fusion of photography and digital manipulation, opening doors to creative possibilities I hadn’t explored before. The process became intuitive—I didn’t plan compositions in advance or do extensive research. Instead, I conceptualized each next step while crocheting, letting the medium itself guide my ideas.
