Tsar Fedorsky, Untitled, 2013
Artist Statement
I've always wanted to travel and had hoped photography would bring me to faraway places. I also knew that some of the most powerful work comes from artists who can observe what they know best - their home and immediate surroundings. An honest gaze on my own situation certainly seemed like a risk. Comfortable at home, I also yearn to experience the broader world. The black-and-white photographs move beyond realism, linking concrete objects to imaginary ones. The light represents my desire to break free from the shadows I find myself in.
Questions arise. Am I happy? Have I gotten complacent? And do I have enough time left in my life to reinvent myself?
Given that our time on this earth is limited, what do I want to do with that time? This work contemplates the fear of the unknown. It's about finding the courage to break through and follow the light.
