Water is a vision to me.
Initially, I was working on the still state of the water, the capture of the rain, the moment water flows. I focused on the meditative perspective of seeing such a malleable material. I tried to catch the moment.
I spent seven years training as a competitive swimmer during my youth. I enjoyed the quietness underwater as if nothing is there. It was my moment of meditation, and I just went with the flow. One thing I learned from my meditation, to open up my mind, and embrace the unknown with calmness and respect.
That was how I started to acknowledge existence as an individual.
Life is just like a ripple. It blooms and goes. I tend to find a way to document this process as an outsider, as someone who witnesses the human community from far away.
I observe the existence of water.
I observe the existence of being.
