JARDIN SECRET

In French 'Jardin Secret' is an expression for a realm of feelings and thoughts that are private, and little- or unrevealed; serving as an intimate hideaway for oneself. 

Beside the combination of the sensual and surreal as a main subject, another layer added to the Jardin Secret in this series is what the negative of the images behold themselves. One as well as the other contains a sense of secrecy in their nature. 

Through experimenting in the darkroom - e.g., exposing the light sensitive paper with a flash during its development and so, reversing the positive into negative - the potential of the image is revealed. 

 The final artwork results to a dreamlike, multifaceted outcome that balances the delicacy of light and darkness.
