In the Service of the Light, 2021
Hard outside, soft inside - this is the beauty of humankind. The essence of greatness is to thrive against the odds and establish ourselves as a source of inspiration for generations to come. Celebrating great achievements shapes our understanding of meaningful existence.
I take photographs as a means of dealing with the world around, seeking to call attention to social realities that other people might overlook. Diving into real life with my camera gives me a clearer understanding of myself. I dare to believe that my pictures have the power to take people into the present of our times. I am inspired to compose pictures through the contrast of dark and light and with my work to add to everyone’s stream of consciousness.
In this project, I give recognition to years of endless work and sacrifice. My subject embodies ideas of social responsibility and embraces a duty of care for people.
