On how the idea took shape
I have been reflecting a lot on images (moving and still), on their generation and their life, on the idea that an image can be much more than what it depicts; it can carry a spiritual energy. I am very interested in the emotional connection that one can have with images, and I posit that images can have a life of their own, they can have the will to be seen and can be spiritually charged.

On Darshan in the Internet Age
A Darshan is the act of seeing and being seen. The fact that one can do it through the Internet is a sign that spirituality has a place on the Web. It’s intellectually engaging and by essence beautiful. I am working with what is culturally the closest to me: Online Darshan, but I am quite sure that it exists in other countries and cultures.
