About
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 gratification. It has been about the balance in Life that makes it worth living.
Through my work, I contemplate the interaction of two distinct domains. The biophysical world and the modern world of organized modern human populations. The first one evolved over billions of years, slowly perfecting evolutionary mechanisms of adaptation to physical conditions, and the means of tempering their effects. Throughout its short, recorded history, the second tried to contest the capacity limits inherent to both worlds.
Arts strive to help us understand our world better. The art medium I use limits me to mirroring reality. I apply what I know about subjects to understand what I see and use my skills to elevate what I deem important to be seen in my work. 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, reflected by the ways of supporting them.
I advanced in my work, guided by stimulating my curiosity. Getting more aware of contradictions so inherent to the human psyche, captivated by the rational purpose underlying all natural processes. Their beauty, hidden often in plain sight, could only sprout with meanings to live in the beholder's mind.
