'Emilie: The Queen of Mate'is a combination of two images. Both taken with medium format camera-Mamiya C330.
It tells a story about forgotten Queen. She has lost everything what she used to possess; all materials goods; gold, silver, diamonds...
everything, except her one servant (myself). She drinks Mate, a social Argentinian drink, but there is no one to share it with. She is with her own self, trapped in her own inner world, far away from a present moment.
Right side of the photograph represents a still life, which emphasize the lack of present. This is Queen's distorted vision of the world; confused and twisted.
