"Not only trying to capture the critical moment or war scenes, I thought it was important to keep a record of existence itself, even if it is only partial.
The atmosphere of the place and the breathes of the groaning people at the scene.
I did not know how to do it, how to capture such a thing in photography.
But it was absolutely certain that nothing starts without going there."
