Artist Statement

My images explore the tension between chaos and order. In our complex world, visual chaos is everywhere, yet within the photographic frame, a sense of order can be achieved. I aim to uncover the stories of individuals and families that collectively celebrate diversity, highlighting their desires, fears, love, and loneliness, all of which contribute to my photographic work. This creates a balance between past and present, incorporating both spontaneous and carefully crafted shots.

Much of my work can be characterized as a blend of street photography and reportage. I use photography and audio storytelling not only to critically examine the world around me but also to give a voice to those who might otherwise go unheard. I am deeply interested in the various ways people find meaning in their lives and how individuals explore their existence through philosophy, religion, or tradition.

I believe that human forms are as engaging and mysterious as the lives they lead. In my photography, I rely on my intuition and sensitivity, using my camera as a tool to document lives and preserve moments of intense emotion and dignity. My goal is to enhance my viewers' awareness and engage them in a visual journey that prompts reflections on our existence. I invite them to explore the mysteries of life with a sense of purpose and significance.
