25/25 Balloons in trash can, Brooklyn Heights, NY, 2016.

This sequence is an associative game of reading pictures, in which I invite the viewer to look for connecting points between them through their own ideas and vison. The relation of the photos can be figurative, color, textural, psychological, theoretic or even abstract. The Engagements series can't be characterized by such traditional features like narrative or chronology, in fact, even defining the theme of the series would be difficult. With this work I would like to point out that photos can be misread or ambiguous, therefore the meaning or the context of a picture is always changing and decided in relation to the one next to it. I chose these pictures from my personal archive, I took them in New York and during my travelling between 2015 and 2018. I find this structure interesting because the interpretation of the pictures is influenced by the viewer's cultural background, personal opinion and visual language, and means something different to everyone.
