TITLE: So close yet so far

I am interested in the beauty and philosophy of scale. Of origins. Of meaning. Of physicality. Of emotions.

I see an atom. I see a mountain. I swim through clouds and oceans. I walk on stones and glaciers. Everything is connected.

The World is one big 5-dimensional puzzle. Everything fits in.

Photography helps me interpret the strange beauty that surrounds us. It helps me lift the veil of what can be seen with the naked eye, to reveal something profound or playful, or both. It encourages me to ask the questions: who are we, where do we come from, why are we here, how are we connected?

My practice also brings together various things I love: writing, drawing, photographs and moving images.

I am a self-taught photographer and filmmaker. I studied biochemistry, management, worked in advertising before I look a leap of faith to become an artist. I feel i am in partnership with the universe and i am here to tell stories rooted in beauty, humanity, and joy.

I live in chennai, india.
