Abstract Photography IV

Photography is usually referred to as a tool for capturing moments, emotions, events and objects, but it can also be used to create abstract and non-representational images to form an illusion, a distorted view of the real world. My body of work explores abstraction through photography and other mediums. I create images that avoid clear depiction of real objects to move toward abstraction, a composition with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. My intent is to compose abstract images that will form some kind of illusion, a visual experience for viewers to explore the real world from a different perspective. My inspiration comes from references to the work of photographers like László Moholy-Nagy, Eileen Quinlan, and Walead Beshty. My objective is to create an experience to explore the illusion of true world through these abstract images and their subject matter to create a space between the real and the unreal by moving from clarity to abstraction.
