    I recently came across some beautiful 3d pop-up book collage, which served as an inspiration for this piece. I have been struggling to get a bit more dimension in my work, and this does the trick. I arranged the elements against flat backgrounds, and taped them on top of one another to give an illusion of depth.

    The idea for this collage was “around the world”. I tried to play with perspective a bit more. I used a lot of photos from flickr that had unusual angle and tried to rearrange them to follow a spiral path created by the stairway. I added a bit more color with balloons, and also to break up the composition.

    For this piece I experimented with acrylics and collage. I tried to give the work a bit of depth by layering photos on top of each other. I really like how white elements pop in all the color.
