REFLECTIONS

After years of work in the street I began realizing the possibility of abstract images in real life street photography. I began experimenting with reflections where multiple images layer into one single image merging and creating an absolute surreal visual. I was looking into an alternate reality existing in reflections on water sometimes on the streets and sometimes on windows. In these reflections reality simply merged and recreated itself from a new poetic perspective. I saw stones merging into a reflection of a building in water, erased towers in water as if they spoke more than the real thing. For me it became a new way of expressing my feelings about the contemporary world today. Expressing the life we live, all our desires, a struggle to achieve the impossible. Like catching our own reflection. There has always been an unconscious struggle for me to survive & fight through this artificiality in this world of desires and consumption. These images don’t have a direct social or political statement. They are my inner feeling towards my reaction to the world. For me my work is a surreal & visual poetry. My images tell a story of the subconscious human of today’s world. About his real self & the self he has to create to survive in this changing world. Through my work I want to lift the mask of reality to reveal an alternate vision which lives within my thoughts.
