présence

Since the beginning of human history geometric order and chaos exists in architectural and urban structures together. Balance between order and chaos is necessary. I am constantly looking for photographs and spaces that exude a melancholic mood and mystery. The indifference created covering the faces of the people portrayed, depicts a world of African myths and global realities.

Creating this visual obstruction the photographs visualize the social costs of our careless Indifference to the world we living and our communities. As most of my work the series were born from past experiences, dreams and desires.

Some of the portraits on the series were inspired by Dogon African Mythology and by the paintings ” The Son of  Man” and “La Grande Guerre Façades” by Belgian painter René Magritte.
