My paper boats, My archives

Boats represent travel and journey. They are associated to me as my own journey.
They metaphorically represent traces of childhood, and moments that have been lived and passed. Moreover, paper boats for me represent women as paper planes represent men.
For me it is like "society and women identity".

"Flying"

What is flying?

         

 For me, Flying is a word, that relates to every human in the world whether it mirror or not but it does symbolize a human into a form that how a person project himself universally. Every person in this world fights for finding his identity, not mere popularity in the world but for finding his inner, own self. I strongly believe that memories portray physically powerful impact on a person. It performs as a person performs. They are intangible but remain tangible ever by our performances. The contrast between tangible and intangible can be seen in the form of our present experiences. We are finding identity by representation in the society but this search belongs to every single trace that we had lived or experienced in our life and fantasized for things. 

The beginning

Something very innitial..

My desire of flying!

                 I have little to speak but a lot to think. There is a state back of my visuals, where I fantasize things. I see them in me flying high, seeing them becoming real, so close to me that I can touch them and can hold them in my hands. I am trying to experience and did exercise of touching my dreams. They come in mind but its like u can’t see it, hold it.  I realized by passing moments of time that moments have their own glory and those moments are never lost however, and exist in time.  I find them in me and feel them precious. Time is a complex tapestry, of every choice that could, would, and will be, every possibility exists. There are infinite realities for every single particle in the universe.  As I have my universe inside me having same particles of such simple moments. A lot to speak, a lot to do, a lot to dare.

                I find my inspiration in some little moments, objects, notions and sometimes little acts and feelings. I want to fly as a bird, feel colors of world as a kite, and find ways like boat.  I used to have a desire to fly and it was a strong believes in me.  By the time desire turned those feelings to maturity but remain the same. To seeing Birds flying made me more curious and makes me think that they are not bound nor fear.  They fascinate me a lot.
