With my new photography series, I invite you to reflect on the power of memories. My images are like stills from a film – vivid, evocative, and unmistakably real. They tell stories of life as it is: raw and imperfect, yet filled with beauty and wisdom. This series was created in an old 1980s brothel, just days before the building was completely demolished. The space, once steeped in untold stories and fleeting moments, is now gone, leaving behind only these images as a testament to its existence. Every aspect of this series, from styling and casting to production, was crafted solely by myself. It’s a deeply personal project, shaped by my vision and executed with meticulous attention to detail. The series explores the path we all travel, no matter how unpredictable. It serves as a reminder to make the most of the resources we have and to cherish the right people by our side, regardless of the destination. Each image is an invitation to pause, to reflect on what has been, and to anticipate what lies ahead. Step into this cinematic world where reality and imagination seamlessly intertwine, preserving memories that might otherwise have been lost forever.
