At the core of David's photographic exploration is a therapeutic quest for imperfections, a deliberate departure from mainstream ideals. Themes of ephemeral states, beauty, and imperfections saturate his work, inspired by the rebellious spirit of pictorialists challenging the relentless pursuit of photographic perfection. David also draws inspiration from art that balances simplicity with layers of complexity.
