With and For

This chapter started with a meeting of two souls. By the time those souls went their separate ways, the world has experienced a disruption of unprecedented scale.

This work is equally a response to the turmoil of that global monumental shift, as it is my personal confession. It is a story of deep love, of conflict, of entanglement versus alienation. From the microcosm of one’s own identity, through the unique and intricate ecosystem of family, to the realisation of one’s role and position in the world and the responsibility that comes with that.

These images exist in an ever-changing network of hundreds of others - still and moving. There I flow, at the speed of life, with and for my loved ones, desiring the impossible. To overcome a necessity to blink, not to miss a breath, a gesture, a gaze.

When I chose to embark on this journey, I was already on the path. Where I stand now is one step ahead of what I’m yet to realize, however two steps behind of what I feel. But still, living and creating these allows me to commune with others and together We render the Mundane beautiful. For Mundane is the place in which We dwell. Mundane is where We breathe.
