Relying on a complex multi-layered digital post-production methodology to merge real-world photographic baselines into a surreal landscape the unique studio composition frames an emotional narrative that reads like a dreamscape. The composition anchors a central female form clad in flowing deep crimson textiles partially obscured as she seamlessly morphs into the split cavity of a weathered ancient tree trunk. This highly tactile organic wood texture balances with a sweeping high-contrast background that blurs the boundaries of reality.
Continuously seeking the unknown and unnamed. The search seems to not be fruitful on the outside. Unstilled in our thirst we turn inwards to seek that, which no words ever truly encompass.
Starting with photographic base elements, such as the figure or the landscape, Haider transforms the scenery into a surreal world through heavy post-production. She uses photographs, that in their essence capture something real, to merge these aspects of reality, slowly creating something unreal and imagined, yet familiar in its story - a dreamscape, drawing from the essence underneath the surface. In her work the unspoken finds itself translated into images.
