Faizan Naveed
I am interested in how we see and perceive. I am an artist and an educator. When I am in the classroom, I guide my students to broaden their horizons and evolve their way of seeing. And as an artist, I do the same idea through my practice. My surroundings and journey have a direct impact on my work. My personal experiences are an essential part of my art practice. I come across objects or places that become a part of my work. There is no fixed time or location for when and how this happens. Majorly I use the camera. Though my work consists of photographs, it does not always respond to being photographed, primarily how photography is typically used now. Despite taking images of things and locations that already exist, my practice is more about re-imagining and re-thinking the medium and Art at large. My audience and I grow into an understanding of how to engage with visuals and discover new ways of seeing. Each project is different and has a distinct outline, which shows no apparent linearity within my practice. I get excited by new ideas. All the series are unique but share the same core concerns.
