Artist Statement:
In today’s world the line between reality and illusion is constantly being challenged and blurred. One could live a very ‘real life’ in the virtual world without connecting to the physical realm. Everything we see and preserved as reality is a function of our vision combined with our mind’s active construction. Everybody see things a little differently and understands their surrounding in a personal way. I am very interested to explore just diverse reality experience thru my art creation.
