Quotes
"My pictures must first be beautiful, but that beauty is not enough. I strive to convey an underlying edge of anxiety, of isolation, of fear."
"It's about finding meaning through light. I'm always interested in tensions. A primary one is the collision between the familiar and the strange."
"Every artist has a central story to tell, and the difficulty, the impossible task, is trying to present that story in pictures."
