به عنوان یه هنرمند که کارش با تصویره، کارای من حول محورِ بررسی رابطه پیچیده ی بین انسان، هویتش و دنیای مدرن اطرافش میگرده. من با عکاسی سعی میکنم از اون ظرافت‌های موجود تو اوقات تنهایی، منظره‌های شهری و تاثیراتی که زندگی امروزمون روو روح و روانمون میذارن صحبت کنم. هرکدوم از مجموعه‌هایی که روشون کار میکنم، یه جور تلاشه برای اینکه لایه‌های مختلف از تجربه های آدمیزادی رو باز کنم و یه پلی بزنم بین چیزایی که تو دنیای اطرافم می‌بینیم و چیزایی دیگه ای که تو عمقشون پنهونه.
هسته‌ی اصلی کارام راجع به حال و روز آدمیزاد تو این دنیای مدرنه
روش کار من اینجوریه که سعی میکنم حال و روز آدما رو تو این دنیای پرسرعت و پر تناقض معاصر بررسی کنم. با کند و کاو تو موضوعاتی مثل تنهایی، تضادها و خودآگاهی، سعی میکنم داستان‌های عمیقی از دنیای درون و بیرونم تعریف کنم.
چیزایی که تو کارام بهش می‌پردازم شامل موارد زیر میشن:
• تنهایی و گوشه‌گیری
• تضادهای زندگی مدرن
• هویت آدم تو این دنیای در حال تغییر
• تاثیر محیط‌های شهری رو آدما
• اون روی پنهون واقعیت
• بیداری نسبت به حقیقت های دنیای معاصر
من تو کارام دنبال اینم که مخاطب رو وادار کنم یه لحظه وایسه، خوب به اطرافش نگاه کنه و تو دل خودش هم یه گشتی بزنه. می‌خوام با نشون دادن کشمکش‌ها و جور بودن‌های زندگی تو این دوره زمونه، یه جوری کمک کنم که هم خودمونو بهتر بشناسیم، هم بفهمیم تو این دنیایی که هی داره عوض میشه، کجای کاریم.
