About Robert


Skin, flesh, fragile tissue… the shell of human form. Inside inhabits a soul and personality. Outside of the shell, exist many absurd influences from societies’ masses, which we in our individual skins consciously and subconsciously respond to.

My work mirrors individuals’ private moments of introspection. I find myself compelled to capture the moments when a strong desire and need to feel comfortable in one’s own skin are present. Similarly, I want to capture a person’s attempt at reconnecting or discovering some form of greater magic (conventionally speaking ,God) and the candid instant when a person reveals how far he or she feels from that magic.
