Border-Lines

This body of work is an exploration into the emerging realities of the injured and divided world we live in. From the tyranny of states and the striated spaces they create, to the frantic northward migration generated by global capitalism, images of drowning dreams, and surveillance of empty spaces, attempts to capture the madness that surrounds us while searching for nomadic traces that defy the status quo.
The narrative begin
s with a figurative visual exploration of the madness of war, surveillance, barrel bombs/oil barrels, and tunnelled futile escapes. The folly of war is then contrasted with nationalist pride, border control, and chauvinistic confines. Nationalism unfolds into fantasies of escape and lines of flight, which in turn lead to the mundane scenes that signify the decadence of consumerism and main stream media. Insisting on finding the courage it takes to live and believe, hope and survival, the narrative finally concludes with the will to survive, bright visions of magnificent beauty in space and light.
