The Tamil meaning for uncertainty is incertitude, doubt, suspense or insecurity. The medium which I use is photography, to delve into the memories and the repercussions that spring forward when living within a toxic relationship. Dealing with topics such as the loss of self-worth, self-image and the anxieties with coming to terms with that relationship. Throughout my work I focus mainly on absurdism and surrealism, looking into dream symbolism and sayings, in the hopes to create a tangible form of intangible emotions. I use myself as the main subject within my work as my work in autobiographical. Diverting the view from my face, I make myself an object within my work, helping the viewer to focus on the image as a whole. I explore these emotions through a sense of dark humor. Humor has paradoxically been used as a way of coping with the most tragic of circumstances. “There is nothing that intelligent humor cannot resolve in gales of laughter, not even the void…” - (Artist's statement).
