Life is still a garden, and don't say otherwise.

Am I a gardener of my own life? If so, my garden is free from any violence and coercion. It's a safe place in turbulent times and when I'm far away, my garden is still inside me. And for my kids it's an essential space for safe and calm growing up Shooting portraits of kids in the garden space around us, I admire the way they live freely in the natural environment. I prefer blurred contours (using film and retro cameras or monocles) and dark tones, recreating the space of black and white dreams. This is how I turn to the memories of my own childhood, while at the same time creating a space of memories for them, where they can always return in the future and feel themselves being safe and innocent again. Blurred contours for me are also a symbol of the blurring of borders and their appearance in places other than expected. Landscape is a separate character here, as well as in my other works.
