As a photographer of documentary approach, I research the visual correlations of the real world. I am interested in the subjective portrayal of man and his environment, and I hence produce the original impressions of an era.

On the occasions of my study journeys abroad, I photograph not as a tourist, but within the framework of the given era, I examine the multiplicity of human existence. China, India, Vietnam, North Korea, Russia, Romania, Cuba, the Americas, France, England, Germany... these are all diverse cultures and life possibilities. With the development of technology, the scenery is altered and changed, while the generations are recalculated and replace each other, and the enormous wheel of time and space continues to turn.

Based on the encounters I have had, my black and white analogue photos, arranged into groups, convey sensations of life, and I strive to evoke a global image of the age. My philosophical journeys signify a wakeful dreaming for me.
