Birgit Maddox’s project “Germany” explores a spiritual and emotional connection to nature through black and white landscapes. Returning annually to her birthplace, she photographs locations tied to childhood memories, where woods and fields become reflections of her inner world. Her artist statement emphasizes a search for mystery, the hidden, and the ethereal, aiming to move beyond the visible and into deeper, felt experiences. Maddox presents nature as both external reality and internal landscape, shaped by ancestral connection and personal reflection.
