ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a documentary photographer and photo-artist. My photographs deal with the spectrum of life, fragmented by time, space and place. I make images that are complex yet simple, human and emotional, their structure grounded by the psychological, physical, historical and spiritual elements found in everyday life. A gestalt is intrinsically formed between these elements, fractured by the ravages of life, or blessed by their most cherished moments.From an empathic and perceptive stance, I become the narrator of my subject(’s) lives.
