In all my work appears reflected steadily, the “search for identity”. An identification number encodes our identity to the whole society. This number accompanies us throughout life, maintaining a constant in their abstract logic, despite the experiences, changes and transformations we undergo. Already the work, operated by each, is, however, confined to an inner circle, but it is much more revealing of the identity of the individual, transcending largely objective information that can be accessed through a numerical code.
Ironically, little or no sense of parallelism that may exist in these two ways of identifying the person was born the idea of giving the title of this work 123 90 948. On one hand, this is a personal identification number and, secondly, also becomes marked “symbolic” of the work produced by me.
If this numeric identifier never forsake me, I am sure that my photographs also accompany me forever, as they represent the most important part of my identity.
