To him, a broken hoover or a rusty stove is an opportunity to explore its “inner micro-world”, which is comprised of complex circuits, motors and other electronic systems.

"Orisons" is a photographic series where images are projected in a way through which I honor the presence of humans and non-humans in my life and in the environments I exist in. The second image of the album is a self portrait that is followed by portraits and pictures of familiar or stranger faces, beings and places. All these photographs radiate something sacred to me which is deeply related to my perception that the moments and the images I am lucky enough to experience are important.
