Time/Water

 

It is said that you cannot step twice in the same river. There is a constant movement and changing of form. When you make photographs of water you only create random forms. Filming it would be better. But I am a photographer and I believe that still images are more powerful and can show details that the eye cannot see. There is also a big challenge in capturing the capricious reflections and the transformation of what lies beneath the water.
I don't need to explain about the importance of water. The fact is that the human body consists mainly of water. It is an interesting thought that what I photographed yesterday could be a part of me tomorrow. The subject becomes part of me and I become part of the subject!
To express the concept of movement and change I make pairs of photographs that were taken in a short period of time. Like movies they are, but really short ones.

Dirt

The following series of photographs are a part of my water project. I started to photograph the dirt in a canal only to express my irritation. During weekends I was sitting in a gallery guarding my own exhibition and people had to cross a bridge over this filthy water to see my work.
However, when I made the first shots, I noticed something special in this water. I realized it wasn't just water that I saw in my pictures; it reminded me of solar systems and satellite pictures from Google Earth. This dirty water reflects the universe.
