nothing left , The silence after the war"
As the culture of the land then and since has been so much a verbal culture, this notable absence of words needs to be considered. Was the silence engendered by the people themselves or the land, was there pressure on us to remain silent, or was there a drift into leaving it all behind?
One theory proposes that the obvious way to deal with the experience of suffering, of inflicting pain on others, and of witnessing death and injury on such a scale, so new and different for many men and women serving, was by removing it from speech: just as speaking about it made it real, not speaking about it contained it - and framing it it's like using the camera in order “to explore one's own inner landscape and create a personal photographic map of your painful memories.
One of my students told me once "in landscape photography i know that i don't have to talk about it, i just know i need it, the nature".
This is my first phototherapy project that tries to understand the true meaning of landscape as a method of therapeutic art and as a tool in order to understand the complexity of the human nature as Landscape photography offered me a sense of escape from the life in which I was living. Solitude, peace, a blank reflective place
I felt As if the images which I produced were somehow related to how I
Would like to see myself or maybe to understand how people see me, some kind of an emotional mirror.
After that i saw the images on my computer I knew that I must do something else, to transform them to be more darker and more emotional and then I got that, the first phototherapy essences was that it is not about what you photo, it's about how you see them in your inner world, it's about your sole and spirit. You are the only one that can see it and understand it. It's not even about how you understand it ,that’s even more complex the first factor is that you see the same frame or even life different than others , it's a spooky thought that I've got to learn in this experiment .
