My photography delves into the complex relationship between existential fear, religion, and the development of human nature. Through surrealism, I explore how these forces shape our identities and influence the way we see the world. As I continue to grow as a photographer, I am deeply focused on understanding the layers of the human psyche, particularly the role of the superego in shaping our thoughts, actions, and interactions. My work is a journey of self-discovery, an attempt to visualize the unseen forces that govern our lives. This is why I called my photo series The Gospel of Suffering, inspired by the works of Kierkegaard. His exploration of anxiety, despair, and the contradictions within faith resonates with the themes I confront in my images. Through my lens, I explore the intense fears and anxieties that define much of the human experience.
