When I press down the shutter, the moment is forever freezed in the photo. I then tear up the photo, rearrange the fragments of these moments. They are “implanted” in water, mixed with the plants. The fragments are separated, zoomed, blured, distorted...resulting in a new picture, which captures a personal or collective memory. I call this the Portrait of Time. These Portraits are given a new life of its own but also full of misinterpretation and haphazard of chance.
