VERNACULAR
Photographing the everyday, the vernacular and the mundane is the journey through our internal landscape, the journey of our consciousness. It is an attempt to find or assign meaning to our existence.
Small fleeting bursts of clarity can happen at the most unassuming times. These moments of realizations or truths are mostly transitory instances, as these thoughts can materialize as instantaneously as they disappear. How the mind can easily obscure and forget.
Capturing ‘everydayness’, forces one to take on a quiet macro observation of our daily lives. What exists in life that motivates us or depresses us, that keeps us satisfied or dissatisfied, that brings us joy or despair? What do we cherish, what do we discard? The Vernacular series attempts to capture the quiet moments that help us unconsciously choose the imprints we let fade and the imprints that we take with us.

WALL ABSTRACTS
The passage of time and its stories are embedded in the distressed surfaces of lived-in cities.
There is elegance and artistic grace in natural wear and tear, in use and overuse.
These Wall Abstracts are macro moments where we find the extraordinary in the deteriorated, and beauty in the timeworn, seasoned walls of buildings and infrastructure. These macro abstracts are reminiscent of the paintings of Miro, Twombly, Still, Motherwell ..., and in parallel, they embody layers and layers of histories within these unintentional abstractions.
