TITLE: Paths of Enlightenment

"Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious - that is, that we are all trying to decipher life's big mysteries, and we're each following our own paths of enlightenment." - Dan Brown.

This series explores the multitude of paths we may take toward understanding the unknown.

The images are a reinterpretation of Novae, a light installation by the interdisciplinary art collective Lab212. Through the abstraction of Novae's changing lights and forms, the series tries to capture the essence of the quest for enlightenment and its many evolving paths.

The images invite us to contemplate our journeys and reflect on the mysteries and complexities of life and the universe. By reminding us to look beyond our own paths, the series invites us to embrace the diversity of possibilities for enlightenment.

AUTHOR: Yaser Sulaiman (Syrian Arab Republic)

An international award-winning hobbyist fine art B&W photographer who often seeks the abstract and the minimal in architecture and seascapes using daytime long exposures.

I am a Syrian expatriate of Circassian descent currently living and working in Saudi Arabia. At the end of 2014 and at around the age of 30, I picked up a new hobby: photography, and so far I haven't let go.

In the beginning, I explored portrait and landscape photography, but I always found myself generally gravitating toward the abstract and the minimal. That's why I'm currently focusing on black-and-white fine-art photography, and particularity the application of long-exposure and advanced B&W processing techniques to architectural and seascape photography.
