Untitled (from Sub Rosa)
by Birthe Piontek

In order to tell my stories I frequently use a combination of portraits and still lifes. The picture of the birdhouse which I chose for 20x200 is part of the series Sub Rosa. This work deals with two subjects which have always been of great interest to me: innocence and adolescence.

The intimate moments captured in the portraits of Sub Rosa are a means of contrasting the innocent vulnerabiliy of youth to otherwise rather somber settings.

My pictures are an exploration of what lies beneath the surface, through them I intend to create feelings of tension and uneasiness, by hinting at secrets that never actually reveal themselves.
