My work is a metaphor for the desire to look. In itself, the desire to look creates a reflection which is all that can be seen; there is loss and despair in wanting, but being unable to look behind the reflection.

It is like mirrors, endlessly reflecting a double of the self.

My photographs are tools of self-reflection on reality as a negative anamorphosis where the deformation remains irregular and abnormal even when reflected.

The anamorphosis is covered more closely than the original and instead of perceiving the real, it perceives itself from the inside. Thus I attempt to see the real behind the reflection even though photographs are secondary images of a reflection. Hence my subject is myself and I catch myself looking at what is seen.
