Our interpretation of photography is the self-expression. The images come from an idea, from a feeling, from an emotion. Like many other visual artists, I find myself tethered with this desire to explore the way in which we are integrated in the world of our experiences. We draw from our pot of experience,feelings, desires, experimentations, and mix them together to build a narrative mood. Image becomes a projection of what we feel for ourselves and for our world. And our work becomes a real part of who we are. Still images are much more abstract expression than motions. Still images can capture moments you can’t see with your naked eyes. As still image-maker, we work with a mood and with a suggestion of something that enables the viewers to imagine themselves in a situation. A good picture can make people dream.
We think the art form need to render a real world as well as the humanity of the moment. Our expression is realism because it speaks to me more directly. Our work is developed from that to an immersive and tactile pseudo-reality and we felt being existence standing on a bridge between two worlds wrestling with the ideas of being real and fantasy. Women are major part of my work. I’ve always found women intriguing, versatile, mysterious, and expressional. They can radiate an impression of strength. That strength is universal and we find it fascinating.
