Preserving the Preserved Work 2019

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

As an artist, I intend 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. Although interior spaces are usually defined by walls and their confining boundaries however what I believe is, individuals or people living inside those spaces play the most significant role through their existence because they dictate that how influential the environment within those spaces is. To get a deeper understanding, I have focused on a specific site of a village with my personal association attached to it, studying the human behaviour and their relationship with the spaces they inhabit, spaces which are repository of multiple stories associated to our daily lives. The work documented is to trigger those stories and my attempt of treating and preserving the images of these spaces in a very thoughtful manner has generated diverse meanings, amongst one is to highlight people’s unconscious desire of saving and preserving their cultural heritage.
