"A cabinet of found objects" is a series of high-resolution snapshots of spontaneous encounters between mundane things. Here, photography is a practice of seeing as the photographs document a contrasting yet complementary dichotomy between the built and grown environments. Quite often, these accidental still life images portray inhabited spaces without capturing the act of appropriation. This photobook fuels my passion for the pictorial quality I find not only in the single photograph but also in the graphic, visual and editorial composition of images.
