My work depicts an insight into complicated ideologies which inhibit the crux of our culture, consciousness and conscience. I intend to decipher these complexities and convert them into a ‘relationship’ between various elements, where comparisons among the identity, arrangement and use of these mundane items reflect the world within and without us. My purpose is to echo these dogmas, as an argument on our surroundings and epistemic of society.
