WIthout money to afford a nice chair, I bought this IKEA table and while I hesitated between colors, a bright red would have been the focus point but I settled on a color that blended with this area and I always thought that the table even for this time, went home and enjoyed it. I loved the way it sat there.

Treptower Park is divided by Puschkinallee and while one side hosts a Russian monument this area was found by just a random walk. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to photograph some girl there. Despite being surrounded by man made roads it seemed untouched and virgin as the vegetation grew almost to your knees. I wanted a natural background against the girls and this tiny area was a mirage.

I met Kasia for the first time at the Treptower Park S-Bahn station, she had come from Slubice only to be photographed. I was nervous and marveled at the same time at her openness for posing, her constant mysterious looks towards the camera made her the model I wanted to capture in this tiny area at Treptower Park. When the session ended, she was able to keep as a gift the blue t-shirt she wore along with other clothes. Her response was a profound and honest hug to me which I will never forget.
