For me, the gallery legitimates the art production and helps build collections. I don't think an artist should do everything by himself forever. I did it for years and then slowly built my circle of trust.

I've always been so surprised by how people interpret my photos in context.
art final great image means people role street understand

Art is not meant to change the world.
