"There is a Japanese proverb that says that a work of art is more interesting if it only shows a part and not the whole. This proverb has influenced my work greatly. Also, because I am a curious person, I am interested in how people learn. Regarding where I fit into the history of photography, William Eggleston has been a great influence besides the classical photographers, such as Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Paul Strand. Other fine art influences are contemporary photographers, painters (modern and classic), architecture (especially art nouveau), music and languages."
