texture  
 

Increasingly, I have grown interested in street photography, in order to probe the meaning of cities as a general entity.  I try to explore surfaces and textures of cities within the context of global urbanism, in which displays of consumption and spectacle define everyday happenings through different mediums, such as graffiti art. I try to probe the urban context of cities, commonalities, the everyday and what is sometimes critically called “power of the ordinary”.

I print my photographs on thin paper and paste them un-mounted on the wall in reference to posters in the street. I draw attention to the value of this sort of ephemeral existence and the various ways people react to this kind of transitory, public  surface or image.  The gallery is meant to relay occurrences in the street context as people walk by a building blindly, some people rip the posters down while others write on them. The lifespan of a poster is dependent on the context in which it is placed, torn, ripped and censored.
