Statement:
I try to create a personal atmosphere in my photo�s, a visual diary that touches upon subjects that have to do with my daily inner struggles. I photograph everything that happens inside but is manifested outwards. I am always looking for the vulnerability of people, places and objects around me.
It is always about catching this specific moment, which makes the image almost not really in this actual world, but in a dreamlike world. In making visual poetry I have to make tiny precious choices, where the infinite present is captured in a frame.
