“I’ve been photographing the dancing movement for 16 years now, and the time has come for this joy to be converted to an aura of energy of the body. The body dances, and at the same time what  is there, before us, it simultaneously  gets transformed into a non physical entity. A trip to the magical world of the moment, and at the same time on losing that moment, a pass through a dimension of non-existence. At this interval we have the “Swirling”, which shows us what exists, or what we think that exists, and leads through secret passages of the image and the thought. The body, a tree trunk with several thousand years registered on it, leads us to enjoy it’s uniqueness and the landscape of mystical energy that offers, and stretch our senses upon the waves of it’s oceanic beauty, and dive inside the uniqueness of our own existence … “
