My work explores the theme of "Life, Sexuality, Stillness" delicately capturing sensations that transcend the boundaries of the everyday. "Life" symbolizes light, representing the pure energy emanating from existence, while "Sexuality" symbolizes shadow, reflecting the desires hidden deep within our instincts. Emerging between these is "Stillness," an invisible boundary that exists only in the moment the shutter is pressed, a space where reality brushes against the otherworldly. Shadows cast upon the subject are also an essential component of this "Stillness," creating a disquieting beauty that resides in the interplay of light and shadow, between reality and dream. Drawing upon the context of Surrealism, I strive to craft visual poetry through images that diverge from the ordinary.
