”A question I often get is where I find my motives and if I have a special meaning with my pictures. I believe that in the back of my head there is a stock of images and ideas. When these begin to flow it is just a matter of composing them together. It is then up to the observer what he or she wants to see. If you give the picture a name you prevent the viewer from using his own imagination”.
