My work is about Life and Death. I am fascinated by both.
What is always behind the image is a thought. Thoughts behind my photographs are my fascinations, fears and concerns related to the existence and its ending. I use photography to record these. I tell stories and tend to construct a narration to be more like a poem rather than a novel- enigmatic yet conveying a strong message. I think of my work as a fiction even I mix it with reality sometimes. I take most of my inspirations from cinematography and old masters’ paintings. I am interested in Memento mori theme in visual art. Thinking of time and its destructive powers is what drives my practice and shapes my ideas. I explore the notions of “never”, “forever” and “always”. I work on a medium format film camera.
