STATEMENT
Time, pause and memory are closely related. Nothing dies in the universe; everything is part of a continuous cycle without beginning nor end. Everything is continually changing.
I practice photography as an extension of my meditation practice. I believe in the light because it does not lie, in every picture you look directly at the photographer's soul. The act of stopping and collecting time by recording every movement and causing these temporary overlaps is vital to my search. Sometimes I feel that this goal does not come from me but from a deeper voice that I call: Saokma. She is my intuition in its purest state, my guide.
Photography becomes the way to connect with the universe in an endless cycle with the sole objective of learning. Stop the time to analyze it, revive it and finally, raise awareness to avoid dying at all.
