breath, a sense of inner touch

yoga, new ways of relating to the body

freediving, quietness of the body, the lightness. no equipment, no wheelchair, no resistance.

photography is for me witnessing the other. meeting with people who experience life in unique ways, in different ways than I do. it takes me out of my own cage of "normality".

in this work, i chose to show the difference in the relation to senses.

the 1x1 format is not random. it is viewed as a metaphor of what does exist in all of us: biased, limitations, pre-conceived ideas. of the reality of limitation that imposes a wheelchair in the physical sense. yet it can be filled with unlimited perceptions.
