To me, photography is a mirage. For although it is an emanation of reality, photography is at the same time from the same substance as my fantasy. While I'm photographing everyday reality that surrounds my studio, I'm also projecting my longings. Images capture moments when reality and my subconscious world collide. Thus, the camera becomes a factory of dreams, and these photographs narrate an intimate diary of my "departures" without leaving my backyard. They demonstrate photography's power to “transport” us. In other words: “I don't travel to photograph. I photograph to travel.”
