Why do you take pictures?
I find the genre of photography itself and its specificities to be deeply and beautifully reflective of people and the world.

I'm inspired mainly by thoughts, ideas, responses that I see and hear - so my inspiration comes from conversations, lectures, but more specifically from books, artworks, events in my everyday life.
Who are your influences?
People around me, my mentors, my friends, my family - creative people who are authentic, deeply human.
What determines the subject matter you choose?
I observe descriptive phenomena around me, and then read books, writings about them.
What impact would you like your art to have?
To evoke new ideas and connections between them, new perspectives in viewers and in myself.
What artwork do you never get bored with?
Artworks that can exist on their own - probably niche.
Is there anything you want to add?
Thank you!

But Abstention From Movement; While The World Moves
Project statement

The series is a photographic pilgrimage which explores the potential spiritual surplus of the landscape.

Nature carries within itself the spaces and the concept of time from which man, gradually detaching himself, creates an artificial environment and a rhythm of life around him. These systems are fragile, and its disruptions often force people to shut down or slow down, with many facing the problem of their inability to find inner comfort. However, in the silence and in an environment free of the walls, the individual can notice something in comparison to their artificially regulated everyday world that they would find less, more difficult to notice in social existence.
This series attempts to escape from the world around us through pilgrimage, and formulates the evocation of intuitions as a counterpoint to the accelerated everyday life. The series is framed by a pilgrimage. During the repetitive walk, repetitive spaces and seemingly unchanging landscapes take on new spiritual and supernatural meanings - the pilgrim projects his or her own thoughts, experiences and intuitions into the environment. The making of the series is a photographer's pilgrimage, a journey and a search for faith - the photographer has used a variety of photographic tools and formal languages to find this extra meaning in the landscape.
