general statement Once a believer I now rest my faith in uncertainty. There's been a lifelong personal struggle towards a firming appreciation of our oneness as a single species, and of our extreme smallness in the context of a humming, vast and indifferent universe. The understanding that ours is a momentary existence on a speck of dust adrift in boundless space, has gained considerable density. The tension between the felt sublime of this base truth and the many ways in which we are ushered away from knowing it fully, is somehow what surges the work. The core interest lies in the tidal mechanisms of social conditioning and one’s place in the given oceans of unquestioned attitudes and mass acceptance. The work in turn finds inspiration in the ever enduring and conquering individual, of any time and place, who has come to see beyond the assumed certainties. |
