Time/Water
It is said that you cannot step twice in the same river. There is a constant movement and changing of form. When you photograph water you only fix a random form. Filming it would be better. But I am a photographer and I believe that still images are more powerful and can show details that the eye cannot see. There is also a big challenge in capturing the capricious reflections and the transformation of what lies beneath the water.
I don't have to explain about the importance of water. The fact is that the human body consists mainly of water. It is an interesting thought that what I photographed yesterday could be a part of me tomorrow. The subject becomes part of me and I become part of the subject!
To express the concept of movement and change I make pairs of photographs that were taken in a short period of time.
Here is an example of how I present these works. Sizes vary from 50 x 180 cm to 75 x 200 cm. The problem of this website is the resolution: you won't see too many details, that is why I decided not to show the works as pairs, but as single pictures. You will have to imagine the other one, or come and see them in reality.

Dirt
The following series of photographs are part of my water project. I started to photograph the dirt in a canal only to express my irritation. During weekends I was sitting in a gallery guarding my own exhibition and people had to cross a bridge over this filthy water to see my work.
However, when I made the first shots, I noticed something special in this water. I realized it wasn't just water that I saw in my pictures; it reminded me of solar systems and satellite pictures
from Google Earth. This dirty water reflects the universe.
