As I am shortsighted I don't see very well objects that are at a certain distance from me, without wearing eyeglasses. Through that observation, I asked myself: "How do people with a much weaker eyesight than mine see things around them? How blurry things get? What happens with colors?" Through photographic experimentation I got these results, that brought me close to answers to my questions. When I gathered together and developed the project further, it came out an unconscious resemblance to some Rothko's paintings, which fascinates me. When working on this series, I first search for the right scenes, with the right colours and light that will give the desired final result. Thus, I have to go around with an open mind to be able to see it in advance, as the resulting picture is very different than what the eyes see in reality.
