Multitychs

Juxtapositions of East and West that invite the viewer to look beyond the frame.
Two framed diptychs displayed in a minimalist gallery: the left pair shows a misty stone pathway lined with statues and an upward view of urban architecture against a blue sky; the right pair features a temple interior and a lone figure walking across reflective water. Together they explore stillness, symmetry, and the passage of time.
Multitychs was my first body of work and continues to evolve today. The series explores the dialogue between Eastern and Western culture through photography. After spending time in Japan and the United States, I began placing images from each in juxtaposition to invite reflection on shared rhythms, forms, and human sensibilities. Through this pairing, viewers are encouraged to form their own inner images — an experience that extends beyond the photograph itself. For me, that act of perception is the true outcome of art.
