Statement

My work is mainly focused on the environment. I use photography as the main medium of creation. In my projects I show the interactions between human being and the land. I often focus on specific places or objects that have been built, destroyed, altered, or are the result of human influences. The work is a constant quest exploring the evolution of different landscapes, the human interactions with the environment and of any implications arising from these two subjects. My main aim is to promote a genuinely sensibility for the environment through the visual representation.
