I associate freedom with the road, with movement, so with a journey. A real journey with no return. So I thought: when we are very close to/with someone, we can move away a little, but we still remain attached. And, on the whole, we don’t question our intimacy, but, on the contrary, enrich and intensify that attachment. Thus there is some leeway within certainty. This is what I tried to show in the photographic series AQUARIUM 1. I would call it freedom; freedom towards truth. Because it is freedom that leads us to truth. And truths are most often something very simple; only one must know how to notice them. We need to remember that truths almost always are revelations, and that’s what makes them beautiful. This is what I tried to show in AQUARIUM 2. Why Aquarium? I probably thought of two things. For the first time I personally felt the passage of time; I felt that I lived in a time aquarium, and I wanted to realize it more deeply, and on the other hand I thought of Suvorov’s Aquarium, and of an antidote to that evil aquarium of his.

 Aquarium 2

Aquarium is a partly autobiographical description by Viktor Suvorov of the GRU (Soviet military intelligence directorate). The "Aquarium" of the title is the nickname given to GRU headquarters in Moscow by those who work there.
