Artist Statement:
 
What the Luck series is a marriage between the concept of luck and failure in both analogue photography and relationships. I purposefully damaged my negatives, making it impossible to create "the perfect shot." The photographs present a failed relationship, by following the subject's point of view, from left to right and vice versa, the final image is of her, alone.
