Many years ago, I discovered that I was a visual person, and the way of expressing myself would be through photography, so taking pictures became my passion.

 

The camera is like a pencil to me; it helps me to depict what I cannot express in words.

 

What are my photographs? They are the screening of something I cannot explain. I try to discover my inner self through them, and they actually show it to me; however, it is still challenging to unravel the question.

 

My photographs are not what I see, they are emotional interpretations of something that nestles in me, and I take pictures in the hope of finding an answer to that question that I haven't finished defining.

 

If I knew the answers, I wouldn't take pictures.
