This series of photographs sheds new light on the borders within me - the liminal spaces between two cultural identities, the sacred and the mundane, dreams and reality. These dualities are the lens through which my truth is filtered. They are a reminder of my raison d'être.

 

My recent return to India unearthed a longing to further explore these dual spaces. There, the threshold between humanity and nature - the emotional and the divine - is a feather's width. Temples, like natural rock formations, emerge from the earth as if they’ve been there for millennia. My altar became the garden where trees like church spires rise ever-upwards to greet the heavens. I did not know where I ended and the rich red earth began.

 

In the style of religious diptychs, each photographic pairing presents a coexistence of truths. Life exists alongside death, technology alongside ancient rituals, and infinity alongside transience.
