I use photography to discover. For some people photography can be labour and I am one of those people, I love being photographed but also want to enjoy the moment and be present in that situation. Most of the times i am too lazy to document what I’ve eaten, what iIve seen, and how I’ve looked on a certain day. In Studio 5 majority of the times I found myself being curious of things I couldn’t see with my naked eye which made me want to capture it with my camera and look closely into it. Photography is proof to me, a tangible evidence to my theories.

Photography also serves as a vessel to me as I use it to deliver my beliefs and ideas through it. It may not be so clear to the audience but as long as I know that the work contains a meaning that i personally put into. It gives me the motivation to achieve that goal of visually delivering and also prompting the audience to sense the feelings that I have felt or to think the thoughts that I have thought. However it doesn’t always have to be goal driven i believe it can be spontaneous and just the act of taking images of whatever I think represents my ideas or belief.
