Curriculum vitae, exhibitions and projects

"A photograph is a miracle - because it allows us to tame and to stop time and also it shows us the ungraspable: Movement, emotion, pain and beauty. It awakens our memories - of everything we love."

"As a mommy of 4 kids, who takes in her hands a camera, instead of cooking spoon and iron. And I do nothing other than to absorb through my lense into my negatives all that is important to me and that is reliably passing: the love, the pleasure, the sadness as a longing, smell of the children, the loneliness and the expectation. All these are stories which turn still in my mind - stories which were written by people - and which I can read as a book.
We all, each of us, have a secret, and only photography can capture it, without revealing everything completely..."
