The momentum is the movement that happens in a body that is
no longer static. It occurs in every organism because everything
has its own vibration. And it is no different with us humans.
There is a sense of momentum within us when our deepest
emotions drives us to discover another reality about ourselves,
when we initiate an internal motion and our conscience
awakens. Momentum is our will to get up.
The photography project “Momentum” consists of a series of
self-portraits in I use sudden and explosive body movements to
portray the escape of deep intense feelings resulting from a
profound internal dialogue, inner exploration, and self analysis.
