City of Sorrows
This Series is a deeply personal work, which I draw inspiration from my own experiences and emotions. I believe that photography is a powerful medium that can be used to explore and understand the world around us, and to express our own inner worlds to explore the dark world of anxiety, depression, and loneliness in my work.
To visually interpret these complex emotions, I use a "film noir" style that is characterized by its dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, its use of moody and atmospheric environments, and its sense of tension and suspense. I layer this style with multiple techniques, such as motion blur, to create a dynamic abstract composition that draws the viewer in.
The city landscape is a central theme in my work, as it represents the isolation and loneliness that is often associated with modern urban life. I depict the city as a dark mistress that absorbs us into her darkness, and within her mystery, we search for hope and salvation. The blurred lines between reality and fantasy in my images reflect the ambiguity and uncertainty of our own perceptions and experiences.
Ultimately, my aim is to evoke a visceral response from my viewers, to create a surreal and thought-provoking world within my images, and to invite them to explore their own inner worlds as well.
“Blue Sorrow”
An interpretation of anxiety and depression and my way of trying to understand my Fathers struggle with this dark and unforgiving state of mind and illness.
“Particles”
In the cities we loose ourselves, our vision becomes blurred in search of salvation, belonging and clarity.
“Solitude”
In our overpopulated cities, one can easily lose themselves in the loneliness. Sometimes, all we can do is simply stand still, alone, overcome by that loneliness as we watch the chaos unfold, unable to control the overwhelmedness. We can easily find ourselves in a state of solitude.
“Lonely Ride”
“Down Memory Lane”
I went down memory lane not to be saddened for what I have lost but to be grateful for everything that I had.
“Square Man”
Don't allow the cities we inhabit to box you in. The square walls we build may seem unmovable and often overwhelming. These are obstacles and barricades we only create, as part of our subconscious, that can be overcome by looking deep within and believing in ourselves to break these walls and get out of the square we once put ourselves in.
“Kill by your Own”
An interpretation of how the Church is damaging itself by abusing their power and continue to hide and deny the truth as they strip away innocence, dignity and purity of children.
“THE HOPE WITHIN DARKNESS”
Even on the darkest days there is always hope. The light will always come back just after the darkest moments and it will shine again.
