Photography. Glass. Art

Pâte de verre - Traces of Time

Photography captures a moment.

Glass transforms it.

Traces of time remain.

In my current artistic practice, I combine photographic images with molten glass to create original works of art.

What interests me is not simply reproducing a photograph, but the process of transformation.


Through techniques such as pâte de verre, layering, overlays and material reactions, surfaces, fractures and erosions emerge, transforming the original image. Glass becomes a medium of memory: it preserves traces while changing them at the same time.


Many of the photographs I use come from my travels or personal experiences. Places, encounters and fleeting observations are reinterpreted in glass. The material adds a second layer to the image—a physical, fragile yet enduring dimension. Thin, translucent structures, fractures and open spaces make the image appear different each time. In this tension between the fragility of glass and the enduring nature of images and memories, a new way of seeing emerges.

The series Remarks  focuses on texts that are part of the photographed scenes. Image and language enter into a dialogue between observation, irony and personal interpretation. 


Places explores people, places and landscapes. At its heart is the question of how places endure in our memories: not as exact replicas, but as atmospheric impressions.


Iconic images and cultural memories are at the heart of the series Echoes. Motifs such as depictions of the Buddha appear in glass as traces of images that continue to resonate across time and cultures. The works ask what remains of these images—and how memory changes over time.


Origins turns to personal roots and family memories. The past is revealed as a living part of the present.
