CATALIN CROITORU

"In 2005 I decided to leave everything behind and to move to Canada. That was an ABSOLUTE ZERO for me: new people, no friends or relatives, two new (or almost new...) languages, different habits. Because of the languages barriers I felt myself restrained and unable to communicate properly my thoughts with the others.

That was the moment when I decided to express myself through the images I was taking. They used to say that a photo is "worth a thousand words"; but I really think it is a language as well. When you feel crippled and the words limit you, just grab a camera: it will open for you a new horizon and a new life!"
