Inner Tales

    With Inner Tales I’m not trying to dissimulate nor to hide myself. I narrate stories within my own story. A process that keeps growing, with constant learning, search and evolution that starts on my insatiable instinct to capture environments and my own body. I treat light like another narrative element that illuminates the mystery.

    This work began as a need to capture the territory of abstraction: emotions and feelings, images of the soul.

    Irene discovers through her series, “Seele” from the project “Inner Tales”, a light that belongs to her. This outcome takes place in Germany with an encounter so vivid and impressing, she feels as if her Northern Europe will always hold a light to be discovered and learnt anew. Such a discovery is rare among photographers and to document and appreciate such an event requires focus and diligence. As such, investigations as these abound with youth and enthusiasm and naturally appeal to the eye and mind of many a young photographer.

    Irene not only speaks of light, also of the self-portrait and her position in the world, and in life. Her work plays out on poetic waters exemplifying both nihilism and romanticism. Irene, unwittingly, is reviewing certain forgotten archetypes of the feminine and through this act, she emerges self assured on the essential.
