Limit of Language (March 30 - April 11, 2025) [La Verne Kraus Gallery, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon. US]
If you do not know, you must not speak… Ludwig Wittgenstein (Picture Theory)
Photography due to its indexical nature apparently blurs the codification of linguistics. But due to its symbolic nature within itself it surpasses the idea of the referral in the image with an excess (ref) This very phenomenon, unique to photography with its relation to the inherent image and language fuses with a purpose or functionality of viewing the world. This work critiques the fundamental experience related to memory which is based upon time. And the repurposing of time removes the experience of the phenomenon creating an object without its historic purpose.
Residing on the liminal zone photographic language slips from its indexical reference to the horizon beyond its margins and frames through repetition.
Within this context this conceptual photo installation inquires how our mind cognizes or misses the slightest difference becomes between adjacent repetitive motif.

In modernist views within the context of seeing the work explores the architecture in the expanded “symbolism” in American landscape. Referring from Lee Friedlander and John Gossage’s work it tries to expand the horizon with the discretion of four edges which unlike silver hallide structures create a sharp emphasis on Spectacularity while losing both the meaning and the signifier.
