Be my lil Baby!

Since I was child, I always wondered about existence. What’s the meaning of all this? What is beyond the monotony of daily life? Why do we exist in an unknown reality with so much uncertainty and somehow keep pushing ourselves day and night to survive? I struggled with a poignant gut feeling. A void. In August 2018, this feeling of uncertainty became so strong that I couldn’t sit still. I disconnected from the daily grind of an urban life and hit the road to explore these questions that kept resurfacing. In seeking answers, I traveled for five months meditating on these questions and struggling to comprehend some philosophy that might answer them. In my search, I documented my day-to-day using a camera and notebook as observers. I watched our world move in its systematic way. I started to see the relationships between the repetitiveness of life and gut feeling of void manifest in different metaphors I encountered. After a year of not photographing and meditating on these experiences through the photographs I captured, I came to a key realization: the unknown questions that revolves around our existence should stay unknown and unanswered. Letting go and letting be is the answer to my extensive search and wonder, because the unknown is what makes our universe a poetic one.
