My first sole exhibition in 2018. A record of three months of escapades with a flower. It has started on 4th of April and has finished on 23rd of June, 2017. For 81 days traveling, 11 countries, 24 cities around Europe. I selected 15 photographs and created 3 composite photographs for the exhibition. In the actual exhibit, the name, hometown, and location of the photo were handwritten under the image.

During my 3-month backpacking trip through Europe, I needed a reason to be there. I didn't even know what that reason was. Perhaps I was afraid of something. I kept taking photos to justify my "escape" from "living right."
Every day, I bought flowers and gave them to strangers. In exchange for the flowers, I took one photo. It didn't matter to me that I was using a cheap, broken camera I bought at a flea market, and even if the photos turned out to be out of focus.
