Patterns Drawn by Humans

Since childhood, I’ve been a solitary figure. I’ve spent countless hours lost in thought, alone with my memories. Like many, I spent a significant portion of my life conforming to societal expectations.
Eventually, I found myself returning to solitude, facing myself once more. I ventured into uncharted territories, guided by my intuition and heart. Through this lens, I began to portray people, starting with myself. My most powerful images were those that were simple and primal, often emerging from the unconscious mind. These images, born from the depths of my being, were alive, free, and deeply personal. The resonance between myself and my subjects was profound, a connection forged in the realm of the subconscious.
When we pause at the threshold of the unconscious, we encounter patterns that are both natural and spiritual. In these moments, we all become artists.Each photograph is more than just an image; it’s a reflection of my emotions, thoughts, and my interpretation of the world. They serve as a personal record, a testament to my life. Within these small frames, the complex world becomes more within reach. As I navigate the streets through my viewfinder, I not only capture the scene but also the emotions it evokes, allowing me to achieve a deeper understanding of the intricacies of the human experience.
