LISBETH WISMAR
“Lisbeth is a 25-year-old international photographer and student at OCAD University, born in Germany, raised in Brussels, and now based in Toronto. Known for her evocative and emotionally driven photography, her work captures the beauty and pain of life with a deeply personal lens.
With a passion for storytelling and a unique perspective, Lisbeth’s images offer a profound exploration of the human experience, drawing viewers into moments of raw emotion and connection. Her keen eye for detail and sensitivity to the complexities of life make her work resonate on a visceral level, inviting audiences to see the world as she feels it.
This photograph, captured in 2011 during a family trip to the U.S.A., marks the moment I first fell in love with photography. The file, however, was lost for many years, but that moment never faded from my memory. Years later, I stumbled upon an old USB stick, and there it was, the picture. Though the file was corrupted, the blue lines that emerged only deepened its beauty.
Those lines, like life itself, are a reminder: things change, but our essence remains untouched.
Life can twist and turn, pulling us in directions we never expected, yet in the end, we always find our way back to our true self. Just as this image found its way back to me.
