When do I see a photograph, when a reflection?
My photography is a search for clarity, for knowledge, for connection with my inner world.
Self-portraiture is an instinctive and mysterious gesture, like a ritual that manifests itself once it is concluded.
In the end I know, in the end I understand.
Is an atonement.
In recent months I have often felt a vague and persistent desire for death. It was there, constant, oppressive. An extreme form of confusion and sadness.
Now I have made it flesh, image, art.
