Artist's Statement

ON MY IMAGES OF HUMAN NATURE

Human mind is the highest creation in Nature. In recent years, in my "nature photographs" of human mind, it is depicted by photographed installations. Untouched elements of physical nature fuse with man-made artifacts, resulting in metaphors of human culture, thoughts and feelings, joy and sorrow, memories and dreaming.
