Photography Beyond
Parallel Realities
When a photograph becomes a mere replication of reality, it risks becoming an ordinary image. Photography is always a dimension adjacent to reality. When photographers capture the world, they unveil an unseen and often mysterious realm, and when they focus on self, they reveal another layer of identity. The world of photography operates under unique principles that cannot simply be understood through the lens of social or political norms. It possesses complete independence. The magic of photography lies in its ability to act as a charm, suggesting a hypothetical universe, a distilled essence that mirrors our world yet remains distinct from it. It showcases an experience that reflects the shadows of our realities, but it is not a direct replica. Every image captured leaves an open invitation for contemplation. Behind every moment, we must ponder: does this truly represent the scene it declares, or is it merely an interpretation of that moment? Each photograph beckons us to explore deeper, challenging us to move beyond the surface and engage with the narratives hidden within the frame.
