The covers in the newsstand advertise a new president, body performance in sports and swimsuits. It seems the Promised Land is close. After living in the US over the last 12 years I observed 2016 as an awakening year. The elections threatened to divide loyalties, friendships and even families. The year left many feeling they no longer understood their own country. Anger and frustration took the stage, won the electorate and continues to roil the US daily. I have been constinuously photographing the United States in various locations. These images capture raw sentiment about the past, present and perhaps awaited change. Some areas in the US still hover with a ghost-like obscurity linking the past to present, lost in time and waiting for the next phase. I never intended to build a documentary, but to capture some small stories, which once linked together, tell a larger tale. The raw material is about the United States and I am sharing my personal experiences and that of the people I encountered. I share my surprises, questions, encounters and discoveries. Each image in the series tells of one aspect of the aspiration and tensions, whether social, political or environmental.

The late night evokes all sorts of interests in me; it opens doors to forgotten stories and tangible realities which cannot be seen in the light of day. With my medium and large format cameras, I wander in the streets of urban and rural areas alike throughout the world; Paris, New York, Kyoto, the Ardennes or the Northeastern countryside. I search for people, for moments, and at times it feels like they also search for me. I come across a glary street, a building, a stranger, a lone girl, a shady character in the distance. They stop. Perhaps they smile, pose or just pass by. I make the photograph. I am intrigued, excited, apprehensive at times, but attracted to whatever is hidden, secret or forgotten. Using long exposures at night, the image gains a luminescence greater than its actual radiance. I capture these atmospheric environments, and moments of tangible realities. Stopping for a moment, I look to reveal something almost nonexistent in scenes that will stimulate ones senses, emotions and past experiences. Through my artistic process, I aim to render the world’s enormous complexity into simple forms, to awaken the viewers’ imagination and have them build their story from the clues and elements captured in the image. In both my daytime and nighttime work, I look for unfolding events and transforming places with a strong narrative. I have a keen interest in making my photographic series in a limited timeframe, a few hours or a day, in a specific and delineated space. Relying on un-manipulated reality and candid situations, I communicate my own experience through this cinematic story-telling lens.
