Conceptual: Honorable Mention 2017 (amateur)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The photo was taken at my niece's house, in the front yard. The two subjects in the picture are my mother her other son's daughter.
Time is always a very modern theme. It offers countless interpretations and ideas. I decided to look at time as for what I've seen around me, the way it changed people and things in my life. My mother and her son's daughter are maybe the most meaningful representation of the way time passes by and changes everything forever.
AUTHOR
I've been in love with photography since a kid. Today, what I enjoy making most often is imagery that can be categorised as street photography. However, I sometimes also like to experiment with more surreal, dreamy, conceptual works. I get inspiration from my surroundings and travels. I'm in love with the natural world. In fact, Nature inspires most of my work. I also get inspiration from dreams and daydreams. I am fascinated by the idea of Time, together with how our idea of it affects our perception, our experience of life and existence in this world. I believe if we accepted the idea that Time does not exist as such, our entire perception of life would change, opening our eyes to new ways of seeing what surrounds us. The sense of the Unknown also fascinates me. The great darkness that covers what man can't see or does not know. I try to represent this idea in many ways in my images. I find that missing visual information, realized by means of sometimes minimalist imagery, is so intriguing for the human mind. The Unknown, empty spaces, dark settings lead the viewer to greater personal interpretation, subjective completion of the scene, re-forged through the unique individuality of the viewer's eyes and mind.
