Artist Statement

What is the meaning of life? Who am I? Why this? Why that? We live with so many questions. Some answered, some not. We learn, we think, we seek religions to answer our questions. I think we do these so much because uncertainty scares us. We are somewhat desperate to find the answer. I thought this feeling or thought was interesting. So I wanted to explore this idea. My big idea is "Uncertainty." I got all my inspirations from different sources. My first one was Rodin's The Thinker. The motion and the face the sculpture makes is universal, and they can be related to everybody. Also my ideas also came from pictures of women in blind fold in flickr. If you were ever blind folded, you can sympathise with the pictures. The scared, confused look. They are also universal. Also I wanted to incorporate the screaming in my mind whenever we think. Screaming in desperation to know the answer. I thought this picture was well illustrated in Munch's The scream. In my diptych. I wanteI wanted to incorporate all these emotions into one single picture. I distorted many figures, used many filters, masks and colors manipulation.
