Hi, my name is Keren and I am a Worcestershire-based artist working in photography and media arts, with my current practice focusing mainly on photography and painting.
After relocating to the United States with my family, my work began to explore themes of disruption, displacement, and the feeling of being uprooted. Photography became a way for me to process that experience. My work often moves between micro and macro perspectives—zooming in to reveal intricate, hidden details in everyday subjects, and zooming out to look at the wider picture from a more distant, almost bird’s-eye view.
This shift in scale is central to my practice. Micro perspectives amplify the small, revealing intimate details that often go unnoticed. Macro perspectives step back, making the big picture clearer and sometimes making overwhelming things feel smaller and more manageable. Together they offer a new way of seeing—showing things that aren’t always visible at eye level.
Mental health is an important thread throughout my work. I have always lived with anxiety, and photography helps me understand and navigate it. Zooming in and zooming out becomes a rhythm—like breathing in and breathing out. Focusing on small details can feel grounding, while stepping back to look at the bigger picture helps put everyday struggles into perspective.
Whether I am constructing images or documenting moments I find in the world, this movement between scales helps me find balance. By finding beauty in the small and examining the larger context around it, my work explores how shifting perspective can change how we see both the world and ourselves.
