The stillness of my body during the production of the work is a silent protest. The insistence of my body and its resistance to movement and nature are both reflected in my work. I’m fighting for freedom and for the social status of the artist with my body.
“ To do a photograph that was interesting and kept your eye moving throughout the frame, one of the two ways is to have many layers, in other words, the subject in the front, people in the back, people in the further back to keep your eye moving, and the other way is to look for reflections so that it makes more complex photographs.

"I minored in psychology and I was very interested in “unconscious flow”, which is when artists become so focused on the process of making work that it almost becomes an unconscious act. This consumption of focus on the photograph helps take away the focus on the panic.
If between humans and animalsexists what John Berger has once called “an abyss of non-comprehension”, animal photography — with all of its high-end gadgets and colonial assumptions — has not always rushed to bridge that abyss.
David Hockney, child of the British pop art movement and a particular strand of postmodernism, has never stuck exclusively to one medium. While his notoriously playful, almost childlike portraits and self-portraits—mostly done in acrylic, with a few exceptions—may be the images that characterize...
