ABOUT

"MY WORK IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO MATERIALS WHICH ONE IS UNFORGIVING AND INSTANT, AND THE OTHER A CAPTURE OF TIME AND NARRATIVE. WITH THESE TWO MATERIALS, GLASS AND PHOTOGRAPHY, I CAPTURE BITS AND PIECES, MOMENTS OF TIME, AND PROJECT IT TROUGH MY OWN EXPERIENCES AND TRANSFORMING IT TO A VISUAL POEM OF MEMORIES."
