Bound/Less

(2o23 - Ongoing)


Bound/Less  is a contemporary photographic observation, an abstraction of the boundaries in our minds and
the illusion of separateness, through the narrative of elements.

As thoroughly explained by Alan Watts, the word Maya is derived from the Sanskrit root matr-, meaning to measure, form, build.
The fundamental process of measurement is division, whether by drawing a line or sorting liquids into cups. Thus the Sanskrit
root dva- from which we get the word “divide” is also the root of the Latin “duo” (two)and the English “dual”.
Definitions, setting bounds are all acts of division and thus of duality, for as soon as a boundary is defined, it has two sides.
Therefore, Maya, the manifold world of facts and events, defines only terms of measurement rather than realities of nature.

The collection centers around this misconception of Duality, aiming to deconstruct and rethink what had been divided to our senses. Through this photographic journey, we travel into to the liminal space between the water and the earth,
where one is “divider” and the other “divided”, in reference to this understanding of duality of the “subject” and “object”;
pointing out the illusion of two divided pieces of a whole being different from each other.
