With photography, I like to create a fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society's natural prejudice and giving this a twist.

I am a victim-oriented person. I like to see that the victims know that they have a voice.

I alternate between feeling incredibly lucky that I've gotten away with almost everything I wanted to do, and feeling like I've been shafted.
