That series is a tribute to the lifes of people I met during my travels in Ivory Coast. Looking at life through the lens of a camera has helped enlighten my awareness of the world around me. I notice little things and details in my everyday activities that I may not have noticed if it weren’t for my interest in photography. A lens can distort vision. There are many dimensions and shades of life and everyone has their own reality.
