After retirement I have expressed a lot of my feelings in my photographs. It has been very therapeutic. When making this series I went through my mental journey in the past years by picturing it as a dystopian society. Little human facing a faceless society was an easy role to play. I have taken a lot of self portraits so it was obvious that I play the role of a human in these pictures myself. Looking at the world now, the pictures also work on a larger scale and not just as one man's battle inside his head.

About author:

Retired computer engineer creating images as a therapy. During the past retirement days making pictures has become a very important part of my life. It gives me endless possibilities to learn new things and be creative.
