Observing and interpreting life and its signification processes is a cause and an effect of my existence as a pragmatist. Metaphorical words and symbolic images, gestures − stillness, expressions − adherence, deeds − undoing are parts of processes in which signification is humanized and returned from the individual to the community as one sign or another. |

My photographer’s eyes observe things we already have and take hold of those who are present. The challenge is to find the essential not by forcing and manipulating but by opening myself to listen. Creating progress as an individual act in my case is motivated by the need of surviving. |
