“I don’t particularly relate to despair in this series. Although disintegration is partly the point of departure of these photographs, and may be intimately recognized as part of our shared existence (which might be a good reason for despair!) the sense of it in this series is more neutral and from a different perspective than of the “survivor.” Dis-integration exists in relation to the photographed walls, but it is not central when it is in relation to what is layered and merged with it. At the moment those walls are seen as something else, and the opposite of disintegration takes place. It may not be apparent of course but I am building my content and recontextualizing through collage/montage. The final work is then to me much more about what it's being created in the very moment we are looking at.”
