Silence

  • Photographer
    Ivana Vostrakova, Czech Republic

I want to express a wide range of people´s emotions. From calm and joy to pain and strange indefinite feeling which everybody has sometimes. Feelings from everyday life as well as feelings from night dreaming or nightmares. I try to materialize indeterminate and I use seemingly incompatible elements to achieve that by creating a new unexpected reality. You can´t usually see faces of people in my photographs. It is the way to achieve, that you can better identify yourself with stories in my photographs.

Great artwork should touch the innermost human´s feelings, catch him so, that there is only he and the work and nothing else exists. This is my main goal during creation of my photographs.
