SCENE STUDIES is a conceptual photographic series that delves into the process of image-making as a dynamic and ongoing interaction between the artist and subject. Each photograph in the series serves as a starting point for a prolonged engagement, where the initial capture is revisited, reinterpreted, and transformed over weeks or even months. Through iterative adjustments, shifts in perspective, and experimental techniques, the images evolve, revealing multiple layers of meaning, emotion, and narrative. This series interrogates the nature of perception and representation, asking how a single scene can be understood through different lenses—both literal and metaphorical. By continually altering each photograph’s form, composition, and context, Scene Studies transcends the static image, offering a meditation on time, memory, and the fluidity of interpretation. The work engages with notions of temporality and artistic process, foregrounding the tension between fixed representation and the ever-changing ways in which we experience and understand visual information.This series challenges the viewer to consider how meaning is constructed and deconstructed, encouraging a deeper contemplation of the ways we engage with and interpret the visual world. The iterative nature of Scene Studies emphasizes the interplay between artist, medium, and subject, fostering a rich dialogue between the seen and the unseen, the captured and the elusive.

Printed using archival paper and archival inks in the artist studio in Boston.

Born and raised in Romania, Claudia Starkey’s art is deeply influenced by her personal journey and the environmental challenges she has encountered. After moving to the United States, Starkey’s photography practice became a reflection of her struggles with chronic illness, particularly myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS). As she navigated these health challenges, her focus shifted to the natural world, where she began documenting its beauty and fragility. This body of work evolved into a profound exploration of the connection between human well-being and environmental health.

Her photographic series, Fragmented, uses a surrealist approach to explore how memories and experiences are processed, drawing symbolic parallels between the degradation of nature and personal suffering. Through layered imagery and subtle compositions, Starkey captures the gradual decay of landscapes as a metaphor for both environmental and personal deterioration. This interplay underscores the idea that the health of the planet and the human condition are inextricably linked.

Starkey’s work extends beyond photography to include short films, music videos, and experimental techniques that challenge traditional visual boundaries. Her commitment to capturing the delicate balance between human life and nature is central to her evolving artistic practice, offering viewers an intimate and thought-provoking perspective on the fragility of both the environment and the self.
