To Be Otherwise explores the desire for a form of existence that  resists  being clearly defined or easily interpreted.

 The series consists of photograms created with the help of three  electromagnetic sculptures based on my own body. The magnet functions  as a  metaphor for processes of attraction and attachment: just as  magnets draw  certain materials toward themselves, human beings are  also shaped by  external influences, expectations, and assigned  identities.

 To create the photograms, one of the sculptures is placed on the floor  in  the darkroom and covered with a sheet of photographic paper. The  electromagnets are then activated, and iron powder is scattered across  the  paper. The particles align themselves along the magnetic field  lines. After  exposure, the resulting photograms reveal the otherwise  invisible  electromagnetic field.

 Through the distance between the sculpture and the photographic  paper, the  concrete form dissolves. What remains is an abstract trace  of an invisible  field — a state between visibility and invisibility.
