Block 252

I always wanted to take a series of photographs about the oil crisis in the world, and now it is more relevant than ever. The environmental consequences of oil spills are horrendous. Hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of the seas and oceans are dying. In cities, we breathe polluted air.

KINBAKU' series

Kinbaku, meaning tight binding, is a type of Japanese bondage, appreciated for both its aesthetic and sexual appeal. The technique has its roots in the feudal Edo Era, but was not a sexualized art form until the twentieth century.

Kinbaku uses rope to decoratively tie and restrain the body for the purpose of erotic pleasure. Seasoned kinbaku masters or bakushi say the art takes years to master and is difficult to spot in the world of mass produced pornography today. Only in the West, the term shibari, which doesn’t refer to any specific type of tying in Japan, is used interchangeably with kinbaku.

'INVERTED CITY'

Reflections on the city and its fears. Fears of all kinds. Fear of being alone. Fear of space. Fear of cars. Fear of germs. Fear of going home after midnight. Fear of people, smells, sweat, deep water, subway, darkness…

These images are a kind of illustrated world of big city life fears. In the end, it’s all in our heads.

BALCONY' series  

three days from the life of a bus stop and its surroundings.

in this series, I do what I love the most — watching people. their gait, manners, clothing, expressions when no one sees. I am an introvert and I enjoy watching more than being in a company.
