TWO

Nominated by Organ Vida, 2025

What are relationships made of? Are they meant to last? Does „forever“ exist, or is it a childhood dream of love, bound by family? Is mathematics fixed, or is it relative? Does 1+1 always equal 2, or can it be 1+1=1, as Tarkovsky suggests in Nostalghia? In one of my most transformative relationships, the one that gave me my daughter, I like to think 1+1=3 — not just a sum, but a fusion. After that relationship ended, I questioned everything and started anew. I learned that „forever“ isn’t static, but fluid — like a dance, sometimes solo, sometimes with a partner, sometimes with many, always shifting. With TWO, I explore relationships through my photographic archive — a playful meditation on the meaning of „two.“ My equation for „two“ has never quite returned to a simple sum. It represents balance, union and separateness, complementary forces in a dance of constant embrace — capturing fleeting, private moments that feel universally true.
