Photography is an abstract reflection of what appears real. It embodies the promises of documenting what seems valid, true, and timeless, as well as of capturing a momentum that feels memorable. It makes us believe that it enables us to freeze glimpses underneath the surfaces of life and that it can capture more than our memories could possibly hold. It comes close to and yet, it is defined by our imagination.
