About
An Aqueous State exhibition, Art Gallery of Burlington, 2014-15.
The choices we make within the relationships we have, shape the conditions of our lives. Regret is as much a part of the human experience as is fulfilment.
The balance in Life makes it worth living.
I see the function of Arts and Science in human cultures to help us understand our world better. The medium I use imposes on me the limits of mirroring reality. I apply what I know about subjects I see, then use my skills to elevate what I deem important to convey in my work. To be credible, I must identify relationships before I frame them with my camera. It must also fill a gap in my working project. With my focus on processes, incorporating the basic elements of science is unavoidable.
As a content creator, I am defined by my choice of subjects, how I portray them, the tools I use, and my relationship with all the above. And how it all relates to viewers' interests, sensitivities, and their 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, subjects, or notions of accepted credibility and values. To happen, I must rely on accessibility channels in our culture. And on the status of creations in the public consciousness, reflected in the ways of supporting them.
I advanced in my work by stimulating my curiosity. The rapid changes in our modern world are an endless source of inspiration. Captivated by the contradictions inherent in the human psyche and motivated by the visible crisis jeopardising all natural processes. Their beauty, hidden often in plain sight, could easily sprout with meanings to live in the beholder's mind.
