DO YOU FEEL ME?
THE PART OF THE TATE MODERN THAT FEATURES IN THESE SERIES OF PHOTOS IS PERHAPS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SPOTS IN LONDON. AS STRANGE AS THIS MAY SOUND; I REALLY CONNECT WITH THIS SPACE. TO ME, IT’S RAW AND HUMBLE - YET SENSUTAL AND STRONG. IT IS WHAT IS. I GUESS THIS IS WHAT I WOULD HOPE TO BE MY VERSION OF ‘LIFE IMITATES ART’

LIFE IS NOT SO CLEAR CUT
THE BARBICAN IS A FUNNY PLACE. ALTHOUGH I LOVE BRUTALISM - THIS SPACE DOESN’T QUITE RESONATE WITH ME. THE BLACK LINES IN THESE SET OF PHOTOGRAPHS REPRESENT THIS CONTRADICTION THAT HAPPENS IN OUR LIVES OF LOVING THE IDEAL BUT NOT THE SINGULARITY. LIFE IS NOT SO CLEAR CUT. THE ELEMENTS OF WATER, AIR AND LIGHT USED IN THESE IMAGES DEPICT WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE. AT DIFFERENT CONDITIONS WILL THE OBJECT STILL FLOURISH? LIFE IS NOT SO CLEAR CUT.
NAME: THE PROTAGNIST ALWAYS NEEDS IT’S SUPPORTING ACTORS LOCATION: THE NATURAL THEATRE, LONDON
THE PROTAGANIST ALWAYS NEEDS IT’S SUPPORTING ACTORS.
THE STORY HERE IS ONE OF CO-EXISTANCE AND HOW A PERSON CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM. TOGETHER, THE SHOTS OF THE STRONG, HARD EXTERIOR AGAINST THE SHOTS OF THE SOFTER, DELICATE INTERIOR REPRESENT THIS DUALITY. THEY PLAY TOGETHER LIKE A SYMPHONY. ONE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE OTHER. THE PRESENCE OF THE SMALLER WINS IN LIFE ARE WHAT GIVE BIRTH TO THE BIGGER WINS.
NAME: SURPRISE WITH NO LIMITS LOCATION: MORE, LONDON
SURPRISE WITH NO LIMITS
PERSONALLY, I HAVE DIFFICULTUY FINDING THE BEAUTY IN SUPERFICIAL TOWERS. MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE I GREW UP IN ABU DHABI, WHERE TOWERS POP UP MORE THAN TREES. STILL, I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE CORPORATE HUBS ARE NEEDED FOR SOCIETY TO FLOURISH, AND FOR US AS A CIVILISATION TO PUSH PAST OUR LIMITS. I HOPE I CAPTURED A SENSE OF SURPRISE AT HOW ENDEARING CERTAIN FEATURES LIKE THE PWC LOGO CAN BE.
