Finitude

Project Genre: Photography and Painting

Project Description: These works examine the topic of death, and “living”. Death is probably the most universal topic that can relate to anybody. It is an end point that everyone will face yet the uncertainty of death instills fear in us. “Living” includes birth, sickness and loss of loved ones. In life, there is a lot that is beyond one’s capability to control. I use both painting and photography. Painting gives me the power I seek to change reality, though it is limited within my canvas. Photography acts as evidence of reality. It freezes a moment into silence.
