Landscapes from the Desert

The silence, the serenity, the minimal abstraction of the desert is something that always astonishes me. It makes me feel one with the Divine. Every time I go out to shoot in the desert, it feels the first time. I feel reborn when I live its vastness, it is emptiness and its beauty. Yet, nothing is what it seems. This emptiness is full of life.

I restarted my artistic journey in photography as a form of Sufi meditation and a celebration of our similarities and differences as a human race, as well as those in the physical world around us and what they mean. Chaos and harmony work side by side in a tango of diversity and subtle uniformity. To me photography is a way to transcend from mundane existence to spiritual richness. I am an advocate of the principle concept that photography, in its deepest artistic form, is a three point bridge between the artist, the subject and the eye of the beholder.
