- Main object of the professional photography activity( max 5/6 lines ):
Living in an area where every society and nation has a very clear `truth`, my goal is not to show viewers another `truth` as I see it, but rather to have them re-examine their own reality, look at it more deeply and doubt what they consider to be as the absolute truth.

Implementing this goal as a photographer, it is important for me to provide a humanistic representation of the different societies of the conflict and to offer other views of the "other" which is not always present in the mainstream media. 

Another goal is to provide an alternative example of conflict transformation and peace-building, initiated by individuals or global organizations, offering the viewers an alternative future to the conflict that is perceive as inevitable.
