Artist Statement

Concept & Idea: Overlapping Images and Explorations of photography skills and techniques

"The things that we see are the things that are in us. There is no reality except for the reality we have within us. What makes the lives of most men so unreal is that they mistake the images outside them for reality and never let their own world speak."- Hermann Hesse
The seeking never stops, but the journey is a continual flow of images to be captured and shared. Immersed in the places, events and people who become my vision and help shape who I am, my images savor the mundane scenarios that drew me to fire those precise moments. I photograph images of various vicinites of the surroundings that are around us daily. The distortion is mobile and in many ways beyond the control of the individual. Overlapping images and in motion, the model is vulnerable. Subject to whatever impression the image creates. For all of its artifice and distortion, the final image is one of raw emotional truth.
In my photographs I am seeking answers to who I am and what I am to become in relation to how I put the overlapping images together. Through the photographs, I am also reconnecting to a part of myself that often gets buried underneath the hectic routines of everyday lives. We often take for granted the surroundings around us because it is there every day the moment we open our eyes. We know for sure that it will not disappear and always there to greet our sight.
Being a good artist means I must remain true to myself. Expressing to people who I am: my weaknesses, strengths and vulnerabilities. The most fulfilling aspect of being an artist is the opportunity to share it with others and loving it. To me, photography is a drug. And I know I’m addicted to it. But I don’t fight it because I can give it the euphemistic name ‘passion’…………………..
