I was working in Miami for a week.
I decided to go on a voyage after that. Since i didn't had a credit card i ended up traveling by bus and bicycle.
I had no plans at all and was choosing destinations at the grayhound stations.
I had no purpose than meet people and experience solitude.
From Miami to Detroit going trough Nashville and Chicago.
I ended up encountering poor people and marginalised.
Most of them where former military or people who went back to live with their family because they had no money.
It generate a portrait of disadvantaged americans.
People, their strengh and generosity.
Showing the values they stand for proudly, family, mutual support and joy of life.
I'm wondering.
Who are you when you have no money, no job, when you broke away from the values imposed by the society.
When you are marginilsed ans isolated.
What room does this leave, what defines you?
I find this dialectic between "full" and "empty" as i take my photographs.
Desolated landscapes, lonely people,smily people, joy of life or family pictures
Looking for something in others.
Something for youself, something for the others.
To reconise yourself into the world, and to reconise the world into yourself.
I'm looking for the other echoing inside me and also for something that goes beyond.
Surching for evidence of life or it's essence.
Something are so beautiful that they make you forget our human condition.
