TITLE: Child Inside

‚Child Inside’ is a photographic exploration of the reality perceived by the child.
The world on the borderline of realism and fantasy, truth and fiction. The little man is discovering the world, experiencing admiration, horror and surprise. Photographs are taking us onto a journey of an early childhood. They wake up dreams of the inner child, the child inside us, asking if it is still there?
