Eigengrau

Eigengrau is the dark color we see when we close our eyes.
It is the first color we perceive in life, and also the last.
The true color of darkness.

Its faint flickers, an illusion created by the human mind, speak of our need to imagine even where uncertainty prevails.

This series draws on that idea. On light, and above all, on shadow. I’m fascinated by how a flat scene can suddenly fill with shapes, creating a ephemeral universe. That brief moment when everything aligns. Form, shadow, and gaze, is where Eigengrau happens.
