BASING (Video installation),   48” x 48” (3min. two channel video), Oil on Canvas (Video),   2009 

‘Basing’ is a space installation work painting with two channel video. The context is Unlock. It is like creating mystery as well as curiosity for one to know what exactly there is inside. In the video with the sound of ‘Basing’ flowing tab water is going inside the drain and in the other video the basing is filling up with water.

CHAIR, Video, no audio, 5min 5sec, 2009

It is 5min 5sec video with no audio; the idea based on the moving chair moving from one point to another to create the repetition and silence shows the portrait of social and political impact of ones individual life.

Here not showing the real chair in video but showing the movements that create the sense of restrict space and real time. Where mood is changing according to thoughts create in mind. Here I am showing the reaction of positive and negative interaction. Reaction of what’s going inside and what’s going outside

WINDOW, Video, 3min 16sec, 2012, colour, no audio

Here mirror is transparent but reflection plays the role to create a visual. In the work shows the hidden spaces and open spaces with the use of real and artificial lights to create the gray area.

DOOR, Video, 2min 37sec, 2012, colour, audio

Here the Video title DOOR shows a meeting point where the two changes are similar but create the uncertainty like communication between society and an individual in everyday complex life.

OAR, Video, 3min 14sec, 2013, colour, no audio 

 The Oar goes through the circular symbol transporting force from back to front and repeats the moments inside out like using the energy of calm water to create infinite force that never stop progressing

Waves, video, 3min 04sec, 2013, colour, no audio mome

In the middle of sea, waves is like in mysterious peace and showing the reflection of sky, clouds and birds as those are under it. Silent water is covered, in an instant, by birds coming from every side, suggesting beginning of breaking silence. Little by little, the volume and rhythm of the still waves get more vibrant in movement and those birds seem to break everything towards the hole.
