We live our lives with overloaded visual senses. With our smartphones in hand we can capture every second, and we constantly do so. In most cases we take these pictures without particular purposes. The consequence of this tendency is that documenting our personal life is becoming more and more personal, many of them replacing written texts. Experiencing this phenomenon I started organizing and selecting the nomerous randomly taken pictures, which later formed my visual diary. It shows how these pictures can replace written texts, hence the inner world is not represented by drafted contents but through filtered visual aspects.
The pictures includeded were taken with no particular reason in day-to-day situations where strict concepts, planning and conventions of photography did not play a relevant role. At the same time little by little it became important for me to capture and display the bagatelle and ordinary events around me in an uncommon way. The photo diary hereby tells the story of my everyday life in fractions. The photos were taken by mobile phone, spontaneously with a documentary goal. Besides, the story of the diary aims to motivate, to attract attention to the important experience of observation.
The diary is implemented in a form of a book, which will include table of content on the wall as part of the installation. This content will present words that will guide the observer in a way that they can realise the bigger picture that these fractions belong to. This recognition aims to give the joy of observation.

Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental, conceptual or concrete photography, is a means of depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials. An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a natural scene in order to remove its inherent context from the viewer, it may be purposely staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects, or it may involve the use of color, light, shadow, texture, shape and/or form to convey a feeling, sensation or impression. The image may be produced using traditional photographic equipment like a camera, darkroom or computer, or it may be created without using a camera by directly manipulating film, paper or other photographic media, including digital presentations.

Yet there is so much that fills me: plants, animals, clouds, day and night, and the eternal in man. The more uncertain I have felt about myself, the more there has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things. In fact it seems to me as if that alienation which so long separated me from the world has become transferred into my own inner world, and has revealed to me an unexpected unfamiliarity with myself.

My work is inspired by the unity of family and work in the aspect of the time after my parents’ divorce. The whole material can be devided into two parts, namely past and present. One of the components of my work is the embracement of the happenings of the past, the other component focuses on observing the present. The following pictures concentrate on my present, my home and the period after my parent’s divorce, especially how the system and the every day life of the family transforms after such an unfortunate event. How can we process the fact that we have two homes at the same time when this feeling of being home is always a temporary state? Gestures, sights and tactions play the most important roles in my pictures. These act as a coordinate system in the relationships of the family members with themselves and with each other. The pictures form a family album where everyone has a role, even if they were the part of the family for a short period of time.
