Vertical Horizons

“The horizon is not the end of the world; it is the line where the world begins.”
— Martin Heidegger

I conceived Vertical Horizons around a single, enduring subject: the horizon. My intention was to challenge how we perceive and organize reality. By inverting and reimagining this familiar line, I constructed compositions that divide the frame into two distinct planes.

This division echoes the dualities at the heart of human experience: the spiritual and the material, the visible and the invisible. In this context, the horizon ceases to be a simple boundary; it becomes an invitation to contemplate. What truly matters: the spaces it separates, or the line that holds them apart?

I was equally fascinated by the horizon’s aesthetic force, a line cutting through the sky like the spine of a book, suggesting that each photograph can be read as a page in an open narrative.
