The essence of photography is that it can be interpreted at any moment because time does not exist in it. For example, this distinguishes it from a book, where a chronological sequence makes sense.
The photographer's time can be turned back, since the shooting process itself and its result can be compared to the surface of a mirror on which information is imprinted.
Therefore, it is impossible to begin a dialogue with a photograph (and with oneself) until the objects appear in a mirror image through which all motives and meanings can be explored.
This process often takes years.
And when it seems that you are getting closer to some truth, then a new image opens up before us again, giving rise to new meanings and ideas.
I believe in photography when it is able to tell something that embodies absolute value at a given, specific moment. At least in the time frame that our imagination can grasp.
