About
his work:
The photographs are two-dimensional representations of
original three-dimensional photographs taken in a
stereoscopic frame. "In my work I try to take small worlds
and wrap them in a colorful stereoscopic frame. Each time
they are viewed (only one person may view them at a time
with a special viewer) a small surprise is revealed. Each
individual viewer takes my story to different places in his
mind and thoughts. The reaction or interest that he shows,
belong only to him, a small present from me."
