The
'Unseen World' is a continuation of my focus on the environmental
problems. We seem to float more on illusions and in most cases merely
skim the surface of issues. These are attestations to a world crisis
that are more rampant today. It is lack of an in-depth understanding of
far-reaching impacts and the consequences of our decisions and actions
in general terms. My gaze this time wandered to the soil and what is
trapped inside her. Imprisoned materials are exposed by surface erosion,
which lent an archaeological semblance to the images, and also a sense
of discovery.
The Unseen World series came
from the same silent agitations and perceptions of objects around my
environment. This impulse, like all else, was difficult to ignore as
they constantly caught my attention. There is that sense of fragility
and impermanence in the objects, a reflection of transient time, and
also of a resurrection. They are a reminder of an evolutionary
principle, which is not conscientiously observed by man. The style of
shooting is close-up, to give it that massiveness, an exaggeration of
scale, conveying a picture of a monumental catastrophe
The Unseen World likewise has many sub-series, including 'Resurrection', 'Surface', 'Carcass', 'Planetarium' and 'Erotica'. The series opens up constantly, revealing more vistas, as I begin to perceive more worlds around me which remain unseen to the eyes of the uninitiated .
