This vacuum is the source of his path. There are moments on the way when the world speaks to him, gives him a fragment, sets an impulse. At other moments the path demands patience, passion and devotion, resistance must be dissolved. On such a journey the work comes into being. Its energies fill the vacuum for a time, until it empties again and a new journey begins. Each photograph is a lasting gift.
