I Had To Understand My Own Emotions In Order To Create Cognitive Bodies Photography Series.

The aim of the project was to capture a very sensual collaboration of the human’s body and extreme emotions that expresses both the physical and spiritual harmony. I was to immortalize the beauty of shape, the purity of art and the uniqueness of existence.

My personal aim was to emotionally connect with the sitters to be able to recognize and understand what feelings each individual person and its connection to the body can express. At the same time each person involved must have had a clear understanding of my vision that was to deeply concentrate on emotion and the way it can be expressed through the body and its unique language.

Human’s body and its posture disclose both physical and mental mood and state of mind. All good and bad, happy and sad emotions can be read from people’s faces and the way we appear.

I invited six professional ballet dancers and performers. Wonderful people. It took me a few months to research and summarize the ideas I had.

I was very much inspired by how we can say things using our bodies and maybe because I do sometimes have problem to express emotions and keep them inside – I decided to photograph rather than use words. I allowed myself to release my thoughts and people were there to listen and join.
