“Knowing that she was about to die, my aunt said that she would have less regret about leaving this world if she knew that she would still be able to send letters.
I feel that my camera acts as an antenna – to receive signals carrying urgent messages from the lost lives and objects that fill the air around us. I believe that it is this frantic whispering of death that pushes me to take photographs, and enables me to continue living.”
