nothingness has no middle

Each image, also photographic one, gives us an illusion that we have captured something. The phenomenon of seeing is the same as possession: when we see something, simultaneously we feel that we gain it. Yet what happens when the image confronts us with an absence, loss, and emptiness, when the subject itself is precisely the essence of being absent? Once the phenomenon of seeing is linked to the question of being, what happens when, while looking, we feel the absence – when to see means to lose? In my works I'm not telling a melacholic story, but trying to tell the story of melancholia itself.
Creating images is my great passion, but photography is also something more: a lesson of humility. I can never be sure if I am the author and have chosen the theme myself or maybe the theme has chosen me.
So photography is already like a journey to me. I look and learn with curiosity what will I discover with a next step. Surely, this fascinating travel is about to change me, but I also hope to change something about photography. It doesn't has to shout with colors or thrilling theme. I believe Buthan is a right place to prove it.
