              "I make portraits in which I pose the situation.
                            I create them. A new moment arises. Whenever people
                            disrobe for my photos, a wish comes true for me,
                            a little yearning, to enter the private room of my
                            grandmother, of my mother Saryas. I don't try
                            to depict what is, but to show something that can
                            only be evoked through the act of photographing. 
                            My fantasies aren't concrete; they acquire
                            a body through the photos. I close my eyes and the
                            images flow."
