If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.
Inspired by this quote, I tried to capture that-which-is-beyond-our-senses, using photography as my medium. This is the artist's statement I used in my photography class:
In this series, I question the boundaries between abstraction and representation. By journeying to the threshold of unintelligibility, I explore the hopelessness of perceiving, much less comprehending, the vastness of matter, time, and space. When confronted with our cognitive limits, do we invariably reject the ambiguous and absurd as meaningless neural static?
