At the age of twenty I went to Berlin. After several attempts I finally found a small room on the first floor of an ex-squat located in the Samariterstraße.
It wasn’t the wide cultural range of the environment or the picturesque community that made me stay, but the straightforwardness I was beginning to get familiarized with, the challenging urge to self-expression, a place where boundaries won’t create differences but where differences are accepted and even embraced.
Within this series I wanted to raise questions about social norms and cultural behavior. My intention was to frame an abstraction and accumulation of memories and thoughts gathered during that period.
I don’t look for an instant reproduction of an incident but I rather try to compose a visual arrangement about it. I’m fascinated by the possibilities of constructing a mental place. I decided to build a lyrical composition by bending fantasy and realism, to weave familiar moments and ordinary objects into a pattern that would transcend the realms of common experience.
