„Tieto fotografie nepochádzajú z jednej krajiny ani z jedného roka. Nespája ich jediný príbeh, a predsa majú spoločné jedno: vznikli na cestách. Zachytávajú miesta, ktoré existovali dávno predo mnou a zostanú aj po mne – ja som nimi iba prechádzal. Často sa ma pýtajú, aké je to cestovať sám. Či to nie je osamelé. Niekto raz povedal: ‚Tam, na ceste, v prírode, si sám s jediným človekom, ktorý ťa môže úplne pochopiť – so sebou samým.‘ Možno som tam niekde naozaj našiel sám seba. A možno som len prijal fakt, že budem navždy trochu stratený. Je prirodzené neustále hľadať – seba, svoje miesto. A je rovnako v poriadku aj prestať. Napokon, všetko podstatné nosíme v sebe. Minimalizmus bol v mojich fotografiách vždy prítomný, no tu je ešte výraznejší. Nevnímam ho ako štýl, v ktorom je v zábere príliš málo – ale ako štýl, v ktorom to málo stačí. Nejde o snímky preplnené farbami a detailmi, skôr o zachytenie pocitu či atmosféry. Je to poviedka v jednej vete, príbeh v jednom detaile.“

“These photographs are not from a single country, nor from a single year. They are not tied together by one storyline. Yet they do share something in common: they were all taken on the road. Each one captures a place that existed long before me and will remain long after me – I was merely passing through. People often ask me what it is like to travel alone. Whether it feels lonely. Someone once said: ‘Out there, on the road, in nature, you are alone with the only person who can truly understand you – yourself.’ And so perhaps, somewhere far away, I did find myself. Or perhaps I simply accepted that I will always be a little lost. It is normal to keep searching – for yourself, for your place. And it is equally fine to stop searching. In the end, everything that matters is something we carry within us. Although minimalism has always been present in my photography, it is even more apparent here. I do not see minimalism as a style defined by having ‘too little’ in the frame – it is a style in which that little is enough. It is not an image overflowing with colours and details; rather, it seeks to capture a feeling or an atmosphere. It is a short story in a single sentence, a narrative in one detail.”
