Statement
I am following something that is absurd. I have to do it. There is a certain grade of darkness, memories,
confusion, pushing it to the limit, to reveal something that no one can see. But it exists. Somewhere. With a loss
of factual information, something hidden wants to be discovered to resonate in the world. That is what I am trying
to do with photography. The work requires doubts, calmness, change, vulnerability, ecstasy and a high amount
of naivety to go somewhere that can not be planned. I do not feel well with logic transcriptions. The narrative must
be open. To be rewritten by the viewers own reality.
