Being raised by a single Mother (Dad died, when I was only 8 years old), and experiencing myself the social barriers that one faces when having the tough luck of being born among the less empowered, I've always been eager to make the voices of those who live below the radar of social standards heard.
As of June of 2015, I started a personal project called "Careful: Soul Inside", showcasing lives of real people who, like you and me, had plans and dreams, but for a misfortune of destiny ended up on the streets, subsistence living, or in shelters. "Careful: Soul inside" is a project that envisions
telling the stories of these suffering people and raising society's awareness of the homelessness issue. The idea is simple: I talk to them, hear their stories and register everything on camera. Eventually, whenever allowed, I share these pictures on social networks. My intention is to bring more awareness of, and educate people about the fine line that separates "society" and homeless people, and hopefully to bring down this huge social wall that makes these people practically invisible for most of us.
