(excerpt)

I am often fascinated by water bodies and architecture and try to look at how they form landscapes, social and urban realms, and histories shaped around them and their impact on the morphology of any form and matter. Water is an element whose nature contains many dualities. In the exhibition we explore not only its transformative power as a physical entity but also its nature to divide and unite, conceal, reveal, dissolve and condense, destroy yet heal and draw and erase. For instance, one of the primary departure points of the show was that of dams in the region having the major role of reshaping the current identity of the landscape, creating not only an environmental, social and economic wave that shook a lot of roots but also a base for a new ecosystem to emerge, through nature and wildlife taking over the territory.
