Life Science
"Life Science" is an attempt to deal with the aesthetics of the scene, improvising various contexts, the tools and paraphernalia shown are not just the typical ones used in the clinical operating place. It takes a while for a young clinician to accommodate the laboratory or hospital scenes to enable good performance. This is done by extensive training; some cannot adjust to the visuals. I feel, my photographic activity carries me to these regions too. My "Life Science” project is forcing the biological tissue into a relatively pleasant, sometimes artificial scenarios contemplating disquieting issues of materialism, erotica and mortality, corresponding with the intriguing category of “Animal Reminder” in the visual arts.My extended “Life Science” series negotiates also the immoral reasoning for various toning of human violence, the use of viciousness! My images move from the animate, lively flesh of lust to the inanimate, lifeless ones. We tend to describe violent humankind behavior as an animal like, beastly revolting ones, associated with animal violent behavior. But the animal world is dictated purely by survival rules due to inexorable, harsh selection process. No one will consider the employment of the essentials measures for the preservation of the species as cruel ones; this was previously emphasized by Charles Darwin and recent eminent scholars. I believe I believe that in many aspects we are inferior to the animal world moral conduct, while evidently being superior in our intellectual competence.

entry description
I am a Neuroscientist and an avid Fine Art Photographer. My scientific research focus on the study of the mechanisms underlying epilepsy and the development of innovative cure for this illness.
