Daydream

Daydream is an intimate exploration of sexuality, embodiment, and the search for connection in a world increasingly shaped by performance and consumption.

Daydream began as an investigation of highly sexualized spaces, seeking to understand the emotional and symbolic weight they carry.

Sexshops, pornbooths, peep shows, strip clubs, sex clubs and love motels — environments where the body often appears fragmented, mediated, and as a representation.

Present, yet absent, lingering only as a trace of desire.

Positioning the body within these spaces, the work re-enacts and reappropriates the gestures and postures observed within them, placing it in relation to what these sites suggest. This performative process reveals the dissonance between imposed ideals and personal reality.

The aim is not to moralize but to question the structures underlying these spaces: systems that reduce bodies to commodities, intimacy to performance, and connection to transaction.

Through photography, feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, and vulnerability are confronted. But, also curiosity, longing, and the wish for a more sincere connection to one's own body and sense of intimacy.
