GAIA IS HERE TO STAY - artistbook

My work explores the connection between time, landscape, and our presence as humans.

In Gaia is here to stay, I do not place humans in the center, but rather depict us as a temporary phenomenon in a world that continues, with or without us. By weaving images of human figures with natural processes that never cease—flowing water, layered rock formations, the movement of the wind—a reflection emerges on what remains and what fades.

These images speak not only of nature’s cycles but also of our own fleeting presence within a much larger story. What can we learn from nature about time, change, and our place within it? How do we relate to this constant motion?

The choice for black-and-white photography and the combination of digital and analog techniques reinforces the timeless nature of my work. They emphasize that everything moves in cycles, an ongoing flow that is not bound by human existence.

In Gaia is here to stay, the contours of humanity begin to blur. We disappear—just as we will eventually vanish from the history of this planet. The Earth remains. We are merely passersby, a temporary part of a much greater story.
