VISUAL STUDIES
Photography
A collection of photographs developed through an ongoing process of observation, attention, and encounter. Rather than being defined by a singular subject or narrative, the work brings together disparate moments, spaces, forms, and gestures that become connected through the act of looking.
The photographs explore the relationship between the ordinary and the unexpected, considering how meaning can emerge from fragments of everyday experience. Each image functions as an individual observation, while the collection forms an evolving visual archive — one shaped by intuition, presence, and the shifting relationship between the photographer and the world.
MISTS OF THOUGHT
Photographed in Java, Indonesia, this image captures a fleeting moment of atmosphere and contemplation. It reflects the quiet tension between place and perception, where a simple scene becomes an impression shaped by memory, feeling, and thought.
ECHOES OF THE TIDE
Photographed at Parangtritis Beach in Java, Indonesia, this seascape captures a moment where the ocean seems to hold a quiet, almost mystical presence. The movement of the tide becomes a metaphor for memory and time—something that arrives, disappears, and leaves only an echo behind.
WHERE BIRDS HAVE BEEN
Photographed at Parangtritis Beach in Java, Indonesia, this image captures a fleeting trace of movement against the vastness of the sky. The birds become almost imperceptible marks in space, suggesting presence through absence and leaving behind only a quiet memory of where they have been.
MEMORIES OF WINTER
This photograph reflects on the fleeting nature of life through the enduring presence of a flower in winter. Captured at a moment when nature withdraws into stillness, the flower becomes an imprint of beauty, vitality, and something seemingly timeless — a quiet reminder that even in a season of death, life leaves its trace. *** The photograph was awarded a Certificate of Honour (Fine Art Photography) in the Fine Art Photography and Illustration Competition, organised by Photosynthesis, in 2021.
EXIT
The photograph questions whether an exit truly exists, or whether it is only an illusion created by the human desire to find a way out. What we perceive as an escape may be nothing more than a possibility projected onto an empty space—a promise that may never lead anywhere. The photograph remains suspended between the certainty of what is visible and the uncertainty of what we choose to believe lies beyond it. *** The photograph was exhibited in The Extraordinary in Ordinary Things in My City, a photography exhibition organised by Kragozor Publishing House, Sofia, Bulgaria, in 2015.
FORGOTTEN SOFIA IN FOCUS
*** The photograph Deja Vu was awarded Second Prize in the “Forgotten Sofia in Focus” Photography Contest, organised by Sofia Municipality and Photo Pavilion, in 2012.

MAKE A WISH
This photograph reflects on the fundamental right of LGBTQ+ people to love freely and openly. What should be an ordinary human freedom becomes, for many, a struggle against prejudice, social judgment, and the denial of equality. The repeated desire to love becomes both a personal confession and a quiet demand for dignity, recognition, and the right to exist without having to hide who we are or whom we love. ***The photograph received First Prize in the Together in Diversity Photography Contest, organised by the United Nations Association of Bulgaria and the Atlantic Club of Bulgaria, in 2011.
CROSSING INTO LIGHT
Between shadow, there is light. We are always on a journey, exploring life and continuing to move forward. Taken in Berlin, this moment reflects the quiet rhythm of moving through one place and toward the next.
