From the day we step into school we are all taught to be different but opposing this notion we are taught our principles from what is right to what is wrong and shamed by others for our uniqueness which limits our perspective. Although we do bear minute differences we are all bred to mimic one another, shying away to become a black sheep. And growing up as a punk of a kid, I was punished by the authorities for being different and thinking differently. So I began to shy away and compressed myself into the expectations of society. Until I enrolled in a photography class. Although I shied away at first my work began to become distinct from others as I broke out of my cage, experimenting and expressing my emotions and differences. As I began embracing this contrast my interest in perspective and this illusionary expectation, and the way we mimic one another became a prompt for my images. This exploration granted a journey to seek diverse perspectives. Similar to a chemical synthesis that forms a complex compound from simpler elements I transform ordinary things into unique images utilizing various compositions, techniques, manipulations, and linking them with opaque and transparent layers to mold a sense of allegory and abstractness. My series of images are scattered all over the place like my interspersed influences from artists such as Minor White to Maxo Kream who are at the opposite end of the spectrum which seems to be acceptable in relation to colours but disregarded and not within a series. However, I disagree. I consider this distribution as something similar to Mondrian’s overview from his playfulness of colours and shapes that forms his abstract, enigmatic canvas.
