He organizes his scenes and works on the contrasts of shadow and light. He photographs forms, cutlery, crockery and certain kitchen objects. He doesn't see things the same way other people do. He discovers an old clock and gives his own definition of time. And in his fantastic and dreamlike world, objects come to life and take on a completely different meaning.
