His works consists of liberating the subjects from the properties they have in the world of reality. It means that these subjects are given at the some time new characteristics that they did not previously have in the real world.

It is most definitely an arduous task to relate the phenomenon of mind through images. If photography has been chosen as the medium despite that fact, the task must be accomplished through some other special method in his case, it consist in first discarding the conventional notion of photography in order to obtain answer to the question of who is he. He must dissect himself to find the true essence that does not let him change with time.
