Verse
This work is an exploration of photography used as a poetic language. It is my personal response to the flow of life, where everyday events are transformed into poignant memories. The subjects of the photographs are not only the protagonists of their stories; they are vessels for my thoughts. As such the viewer is invited to re-interpret these fleeting moments through the hidden reflections of their own memories and experiences.
