Artist Statement
The basic drive behind my art practice is a desire to experience certain phenomenon. These thoughts revolve around the idea of reality in displacement and coexistence where they are parallel to each other in a particular setting of time and space. There are many questions in my mind regarding opposites and how they exist simultaneously. At the same time, I enjoy the incidents and aesthetics of technology. The invention of the camera aids me with new possibilities. The camera and I, make a team. The camera and lens are a primary part of this investigation. They are considered as an extension of the human eye. The camera has a mind of its own, which I govern to grasp my perception.
