Reflecting Photograph - Limited Edition of 20

When I walk within the walls of an abandoned place, I feel its past, its life before it was abandoned. It’s story flows before my eyes, my camera’s lens, and while I take the picture, I see the walls looking back to me. They come back to life. And what I find is so alive, it is so full of energy. The apparent absence of life, on the contrary, soon becomes populated with every animal species. The human is absent, he has left the stage empty. He first invaded and then withdrew, giving Nature an opportunity to come back center stage, and to reclaim a lost and wounded kingdom. In my photographs I present abandoned spaces, but inhabited by the livelihood of animals, a vital element inside the ruin of our world. In this unusual balance, there is space for everyone. It is a game where the likelihood of the context loses importance, and the possibilities of a new reality become the true focus of the experience. My photographs are a combination of irony, imperfections and harmony, and represent the intersection between my two identities: ethologist and photographer.
