In my work I have been discovering and capturing the relationship between an individual and his surroundings. This relationship was in the beginning focused on the inner state of the individual, as in the series 2004-2005 and also his feelings, emotions and the subjective perspective as seen in the series America, my way. In the recent works I have been more concentrated on the social conflict between individual and his surrounding. I have began to explore this in the series from Japan and I am also working on a new series regarding the unstoppable rise of consume with the growth of mega markets and the peoples obsession with it. Besides the context the visualization plays a big role in my photographs. In the pictures I am trying to achieve both. The context comes first, but visualization plays a strong role.
