Arctic Technology
This art project has taken me deep into the arctic landscape on Spitsbergen throughout the past seven years, on ten trips in total. I have become obsessed with the fantastic contrasts between the primal landscape and technology, between Man and the manmade; between our extrovert search for knowledge, and our introvert search for insight.

Barentsburg and the Pyramid
This is a personal documentary on the human and architectural ruins of post-communist Russia: a world of decaying buildings and neglected factories peopled with lost characters frozen in time.
Angkor
Through the photographs I have made during three trips to Angkor temples in Cambodia, i wish to act as intermediary to convey the grandeur and energy that these impressive temples are made of. In the spirituality and silence of this vast area, I have explored the contrast between architecture and nature, Man and the unknown.
okurimono
Okurimono` is defined as `that which is in-between`.The images revolve around dreams, vulnerability, darkness and brutal truths. Reality and dreams; the ritualistic and play blend, in which the frail parameters between the known and the unknown dissolve.
Sola
The Sola series is an interpretation and a celebration of the English artist Antony Gormley.
Evolution
In this ongoing project, I explore the structure of evolution and the perfect symmetry of nature. The entomolgists thorough and traditional process of systematic labeling species, constitutes much of my meeting with my subjects.
