Artist's Statement

My work turns always around human beings. I try to show my counterpart without any
artistic falsification the way the really are. My tool, the camera, is always discrete, never
obtrusive, truly honest. I only take pictures when the people agree. I show what I see.
I am interested in people who are stamped by the circumstances of their life. This
happened with my project ?Living inside?. With the portrayed people living in the house in
Tbilisi, Georgia ans south africa I wanted to show the faces as a mirror of the social
circumstances ? without any prejudice or interpreation.
