WA(O)NDER ...not all who wa(o)nder are lost...

My Scholarship entry - WA(O)NDER AROUND CAMBODIA

Vietnam | Monday, November 24, 2014 | 5 photos

Upon a train of accidents, I ended up working at the school's art museum and finally in the middle of Turkey, the archaeological site of the Lydian Empire with thousands of years of history and legends that live until our time. Climbing up and down the mountains, drawing and taking pictures, measuring and reconstructing, driving along the coast of Turkey, stopping at each site and wondering about the lives and the stories of the past, I never before had the urge to explore the world, its history, its culture, its colors.
I took a year off from school and started my wandering. Through Japan, Cambodia and Vietnam. Each site I came to, I used my old camera and recorded nature, its people, its treasures. My eyes are open to things that I had never seen and thought of before. I realize how beautiful and equally short life is. How much we as a civilization has done and how much has been destroyed. It is probably the job of the artists of the past, and now, photographers, to preserve the images of us human beings.
I am open to all adventures and challenges. Life, to me, is a long journey to find myself and explore the world
