FROM THE BOTTLE OF AMNESIA
The pictures of children are often filled with a slightly eerie undertone. The contrast between the child and the drama makes her photos different from ordinary portraits. Until you open your mind and heart, you won't see her for who she is. But it's not a rule. She's mysterious and elusive. Don't try to understand her. You won't succeed.

entry description

I was also wondering about the future. With the help of visual beauty I tried to capture the consciousness and a relationship between the new life coming and the presence of the death of something essential for us in the similar time period. There's always something that's being born and always something that's dying.about the photographer
