I create my works primarily as a visual diary that reflects my condition and life in a certain period of time. Exploring this topic, I turn to the genre of self-portrait, periodically moving away from direct portraiture of my personality to creating collages and images of things dear to me.
In addition to exploring myself through the lens of photography, I am inspired by the simple components of our lives. The light from a streetlamp on the wall in a room, a lost mitten, an empty cinema hall, a forgotten toy — with the help of a camera, I try to draw the viewer’s attention to these things that often go unnoticed, the very essence of documenting them gives these images significance.
For the past 7 years, I have been using a film camera while shooting. The infinite possibilities of film allow me to capture the world around as I see it.
The fragility of film as a material, and the resulting unexpected effects in the images, add a touch of mystery and surreality to the photos.
