Self-portraits play an important role in my work. They were the starting point of my journey into photography. At first, they were simply an opportunity to keep shooting when no one else would pose for me. But later, they became an exploration of myself and my life.

I take self-portraits in various emotional states, and each cherished shutter release provides me with a sense of completeness and self-awareness. Through these photographs, I document my personality and the significant events that shape my life. So the self-portrait became for me a way of speaking and a personal visual diary.
