REFLECTIONS://

The outside world is reflected not only in the eye of the beholder but also in one’s entire being.

How we adapt to circumstances, transform into something else under the pressure of change, reshape our minds, bodies and souls to fit in. That's what everyone experience when they move to a foreign place. That’s especially true from the perspective of an immigrant. In the search for a sense of belonging, we inevitably develop new personalities and come to understand that our inner world is more fluid, more fragile and more susceptible to influences than we used to believe.

In this series of black and white photos I show the interaction between the protagonist and the city. The sharp lines and overwhelming monumentality of the construction are reflected in the shards, which resemble a broken mirror or a puzzle that the protagonist is trying to piece together. Their uncertain, fluid state is juxtaposed with the background, creating a subdued tension and inviting the viewer to connect with the story.
