“The most important thing in a work of art is what is not said.”
Vergílio Ferreira

I use the camera to write poems. Literature, dreams, mythology and images are my guides inward and outward.

Confronting reality is uncomfortable, because I like to take control, I have many fears and hate change. My attitude towards so called reality is philosophical and magical, being deeply interested in poetry, fiction and stories: narrative ones, fragmented ones, coherent or incoherent, classic or ancient ones, verbal and visual ones. So I tell and invent stories.

I use personal questions as an autobiographical starting point to connect with culture and other people in order to construct narrative about unanswerable questions.

I am fascinated by secrets: the ones we feel uncomfortable to tell to anyone or the ones about inexplicable mysteries and making up visual narratives on intimacy, the very fragile passageway between private and public and transitional states of life.

I use the camera when I don’t have words and I use words when I don’t find images.
