Reinvention, 2022
At once arresting and painterly, Nanda Hagenaars’ photographs pulse with a vital life force. She embraces intimacy in her images, opening tunnels to universes so irresistible that her viewers could never have imagined them. Nanda is an autodidact with the sharp, nimble eye of an academic. She marries classical technique with a fresh, modern vision. Tender. Enigmatic. True. Her work celebrates rhythm and light, sensuality and sensorial experience. Through it, humanity reverberates.
