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