There is a big river, in which there is a big island, in which there is a lake, in which there is an island, in which there is a small house, where a life is growing in a womb

My project title is There is a big river, in which there is a big island, in which there is a lake, in which there is an island, in which there is a small house, where a life is growing in a womb. It literally represents the time and the base of the location where this work was mainly shot, the people who I became friends with, and created a place to be and grow. If I choose to isolate myself from all human beings, I will be still connected and I am fascinated by this link. All the suffering, fun, sadness, love, life and death that we experience collectively is completely unique while we all tend to know what it means and how it feels.

I selected 20 images from my ongoing book project where the images stand for the words, therefore there will be no text except the title. My intention is to get people closer to their own experiences through my photographs.
