In an act of seeing

The choices we make within the relationships we have, shape the conditions of our lives. "I should have known better" is as much a part of human experience as is the gratification. It's about the balance in Life that makes it worth living.

My work contemplates the interaction of two distinct domains. The biophysical world and the modern world of organized human populations. The first one evolved over billions of years, slowly perfecting evolutionary mechanisms of adaptation to changing physical conditions. Throughout its short, recorded history, the second tried to contest the capacity limits inherent to both worlds.

Art creates interpretations of the world we inhabit, making it easier to understand. The art medium I use limits me to mirroring reality. I must process what I see, understand it, and use my skills to elevate what I deem important to be seen. To be engaging and credible, I must perceive relationships before I frame them with my camera. As my focus is on processes, incorporating the basic elements of science is unavoidable.

As a content creator, I am defined by my choice of subjects, how I convey them, the tools I use, and my relationship with all the above. And how it all relates to viewers' interests, sensitivities, and relationships with the subjects of my work. I interpret creativity as an ability to connect data points that brings to reality, and as a record in the social consciousness, objects, or notions of accepted values and credibility. To happen, I must rely on accessibility channels in our culture. And on the status of creations in the public consciousness, our culture, along the means of supporting it.

I advanced in my work, guided by a growing curiosity. Getting more aware of contradictions so inherent to the human psyche, captivated by the rational purpose found in natural processes. Their beauty, so often hidden in plain sight, could only sprout and live in the beholder's mind.
