Exploring the abandoned

Exploring the abandoned

This series is about me and my fascinations. The word 'exploring' points to the first sight to the term urban exploring, which means: visiting and photographing an abandoned and decaying building. But there is a second meaning to this word for me. With exploring I also mean that I am searching to find my way in art. I am also exploring myself. The abandoned, again a referral to urban exploring (or in short urbex), but also to the part of me that I lost. I really lost my way last year in art. And I think I needed to find the old me, the abandoned me, back, to make more personal art. These drawings also have some kind of 'unheimlich' feeling to them, some kind of darkness that hides in me.
