Artist Statement | I, too, am a part of this history
I love being creative and I view art as an instinctive mode for me to show myself. As an artist, my intention is to promote an intuitive and spiritual understanding of reality to my witness. My personal motivation is always to communicate with the lost era through studying spaces which people inhabit. This has also motivated me to investigate the psychological impact of spaces including the human relationship with the spaces .My engagement with such personal spaces has generated multiple transformative experiences which have been reflected in my work. This has also encouraged me to question that how spaces respond to humans and how humans respond to spaces?_
