States of Proximity is a conceptual photographic series that examines how closeness and distance shift over time. Set in a quiet pond in central Berlin, the series uses two swans as a minimal visual language to explore different conditions of relational space.
Through isolation, negative space, and subtle changes in orientation, the images describe proximity not as a fixed state but as something fluid, shaped by direction, attention, and movement. The series does not depict conflict or resolution, but transitional moments where connection adapts, loosens, or separates without rupture.
Bond
Bond represents a state of emotional alignment. The two swans appear visually connected through proximity and balance, forming a quiet unity within the frame. Without direct interaction, their closeness suggests attachment defined by presence rather than action.
Drift
In Drift, proximity remains, but alignment begins to shift. One swan submerges its head beneath the surface while the other continues onward, introducing asymmetry in movement and attention. The image reflects a transitional state, neither together nor apart, where connection persists despite divergence in focus.
Apart
Apart presents separation as a calm outcome rather than a dramatic event. The swans move in opposing directions, their shared space dissolved into distance. The image explores how proximity can fade quietly, shaped by movement and orientation rather than conflict.
