Self-Similarity2019
    What does it mean to duplicate or reflect something endlessly? I was drawn to the concept of mise en abyme—a self-referential repetition within a text or image. In nature, this phenomenon is studied through fractals, which connect to two of my main fascinations: visual illusions and plants.

    In this project, I use the camera as a tool to explore mise en abyme, engaging with reflection, recursion, and infinity. These phenomena are deeply intertwined with our perception of nature. By experimenting with multiple projections of images, I create a narrative within a narrative—one that continuously unfolds, mirroring the self-similar structures found in the natural world.
