"Presentiment is a record of consciousness. An external form of sensing changes that have occurred or could occur. A presentiment is an irrational state, an inexpressible signal that something is approaching. The protagonists of my photographs are young people and the undefined places where they are. The point here is not the location, but the dimension of existence or identity.

I go to Ukraine several times a year and I note a certain coincidence: I go home right before the major events take place– the protest in Independence Square [Kiev] or the open invasion of Russian armies into the eastern parts of the country. I tie this to the disquiet that takes hold of me.

Reflection has become my foothold. I caught the sudden changes happening in my country, but also within me. This has brought me to combine pictures that verge on photoreportage with situations I staged and invented.

This is a complex presentiment of the conflictedness of a land foundering between contrasts. It is an intuitive attempt to capture my subconscious and all the unease that comes with it."
