"Photography is like the life of a couple, it is a mystery: light and shadow. One cannot exist without the other. Light exists in nature, we can measure it, but for me the important thing is the shadow. In general, photographers work with light, I chose the opposite. I push the shadow to the limit and it takes all the space. The light has only the minimum of space. The shadow is the raw material, mine in any case. Black as raw material, it is also absence-presence, and it is the hidden part of everything, it is what makes everything exist. My shadow exists through light."
