“The One Who Went Away" Photography, 17"x12"
So far it did not happen, but l am optimistic.” Why do you do what you do? “This is another tough question. All my life l have been drawing, painting and photographing. At a certain point in my life, I took ten years off and went back to the University. I studied Art history, and after I finished my MA degree, I decided not to continue with my Ph.D. and returned to art. I tried for a while to go back to drawing and painting, but l felt I lost touch, so l took on photography. It started being an essential part of my life when l bought a digital camera and the great software that comes with it. However, what changed my photography entirely was when in 2010 l could not walk for a while. This meant no more walking for hours with the camera. I knew l had to work with the photographs I had on my computer. This was when my feelings, my imagination, my emotions and the life around me, in general, dictated my work.” Who is your source of inspiration in life? “Life. Life around me in general, what life brings to me, to my friends, to my country effects my emotional world.”
