"This 'encyclopaedia of life', which comes from a fantasy world that unfolds on a grand scale, is full of photographs of all genres, including landscapes, nudes, and still lifes. In order to create this sample book-like atmosphere, he often uses clichéd phrases reminiscent of the slogans that appear in tourist information pamphlets and the phrasing of politics and religion in the media. While appearing to be an objective approach at first glance, intimate and private photographs peeked through it, revealing personal and public spaces. overflowing beyond each other's boundaries.As a result, the complexity of the author, the medium of photography, and life and death converges to create a masterpiece that converges toward a single point.
