\u201cI have been exploring the possibilities of images, not just a momentary freeze. Reality has always been a puzzle to me, walking in the world is not necessarily more real than a dream, since I was young I like to observe quietly in the corners of the crowd. Those individuals like me, one by one, make up the so called reality, do they see what I see? Do they think the same as me? Is the environment or a memory stagnating? Individual absurdity emerges spontaneously. What about a group? A group is consisting of multiply individuals, the sum of absurdity. In the myth of Sisyphus, Camus said that once a person realizes the absurdity, he does not belong to the future. Since then my life has merged with dreams, books, movies, and photos, they have all become three dimensional, life is inseparable from them. Photography walks towards me as I walk towards photography, I cannot explain it, My thoughts always appear in a strong visual way on images, filled with magical mysticism in front of the camera the display is unobstructed, this is the sense of mission photography gives me.\u201d<\/p>\n

From 2020-2021 I devoted most time in my film project MAN TRAPPED IN A ROOM.<\/p>\n

It tells about a story that this lonely man that been always trapped in a room imagined by himself, all his life is based in this imaginary room he built up, everything he use is illusionary objects comes from himself, this lonely man also projects his imagination about the outside world on the wall of the room. Till the end of this film I wanna raise the question to the audience about the current reality we have been living in the whole time, how we treat life and death, how us as human beings are so limited in our own consciousness cause these kind of questions are what I face on daily bases , I never understand this world we live in, attached with the rules and values human built up , these thinkings drive me to create art in general.<\/p>\n

MAN TRAPPED IN A ROOM is in a way an end result after all the research (mostly focus on Lacan\u2019s mirror theory) I did. <\/p>\n
