Parallel World
2014-2020
One of the most difficult emotions that I can imagine is the grief one has to endure when their dear ones go missing; the knowledge that a person is probably out there but out of reach is an intense suffering for the mind. It's a knowledge clouded by its own magnanimity and ambiguity. The past four months posed a similar rationale to me, the world as we knew it has gone missing and our new reality doesn’t match with the way we lived before. The contrast has been wide and sudden to accept, the need to see things to believe in their existence became vital — seeing is believing.
‘Parallel world’ is about such circumstances. It comprises you and me, of us, people in different planes, and our reality that is constantly moving, changing, expanding, adapting, probably intersecting, contradicting, deflecting with respect to each other. The reality which is evidently visible and prevails beyond our vicinity. The work establishes different perspectives as seen by three people—the one holding the mirror, the strangers reflected in the mirror, and the one who observes these movements in the photo as an audience. This interplay between these constantly changing subjects provides us with infinite possibilities, worlds that converge, diverge or always run parallel.
