21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Time of Uncertainty

My photography is how I see outer world, to express my thoughts, and is very personal. Ever since I was a child, I always knew my inner connection to something uncontrollable. We all are extension of divine, and photography reminds me of the belief I have is true. The very moment the sign of confirmation comes to me, I feel divine connection within myself. That is the reason photography my media for artistic expression. The blood on the face was used to express death and living in the time of uncertainty.
