Self-healing Experiental Photography
by a Twice Expeptional Fine Art Artist
​
One of the greatest journeys a human being can experience is the journey of exploring the body, the soul, and the spirit. Some people will never embark on this journey. Others get lost in the constant struggle for survival, some have the ability but are afraid and others don’t even know it’s possible.
​
Since childhood, I’ve had metaphysical and existential questions, a deep urge to discover what was happening inside and around me, to find answers to my countless questions. I began this journey in 2005, but in the last three years it became a one-way path for me, because I had no other choice. It was an absolute and vital necessity to go all the way to the end, to help myself understand what was happening to me and to heal myself.
​
This photographic website is not only about the art of photography.
​
It is about Self-Healing Experiential Photography, the artistic practice of a Twice Exceptional Fine Art Artist, where art became simultaneously a path of self-awareness, consciousness, and spirituality, leading to the recognition of the true self and to authenticity.
​
Each photographic series emerged through a seven-year experiential journey along this path.
Each one was born from my trauma, from my high-functioning autism, my ADHD as a neurodevelopmental condition, my ambidexterity, and my very high intellectual and emotional intelligence.
​
These photographs are not merely aesthetic representations. They are vibrations that speak to each energy center . To every level of body, soul, and spirit.
​
What was once considered “dysfunction” became a source of inspiration, creativity, and Inner Wisdom.
This photographic website is a space of self-encounter, a place of inner observation and healing experience, which I felt the need to share by offering the initial tools to all people who will feel the need to explore it and use them — as a first starting point for their own experiential journey through them.
