'Freedom'
"… It all started the first moment I placed myself onto the board. I remember unpacking everything and getting ready for this as if I were going on an adventure of some sort. As I stepped onto the wet surface of the board I could feel the chilly wind brush through me as if clearing my problems and thoughts.
Now it was only me, the water and my board. The front of my board started tilting upwards as I gained speed. When I finally started to speed up, a connection began, I could finally enjoy the exhilaration of this moment in time; the moment where the world seemed to float away from me and all my thoughts of the real world were drifted away by the wind and waves."
The sense of freedom isn’t just an action, first of all it is an inside state. Freedom – it’s the outcome of the carried out action. Because whilst flying above the water surface not only the body, but also the thoughts become light and free.
Each of the portraits, like those small pebbles, one after the other placing themselves into the glass, filling it with their philosophy of life, their sensation of freedom.
At the moment, I’m collaborating with many water sport persons in UK and some away from the borders of the UK. Great help was given by Jonas Schmidt from “North Sails”, Nik Baker, Emma Crookes, Team K66 and bunch of great people all around England. Still ongoing process...
