"Ulterior: The Light of Tomorrow"

We all know this "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dream"

I say: "The future belongs to those who really understand that our time on earth is limited"

This Series is shot with the technique of light painting photography because of which the light trails are being created and there is no photoshop involved to create the light trails. Each & every photograph is shot in a long exposure in order to create the trails which eventually make it look so futuristic and unique.

In a world increasingly shaped by technological advancement, "Ulterior" is an art series that invites viewers to reflect on the duality of our dreams and the fleeting nature of time. Inspired by the notion that the future belongs to those who truly understand our limited time on Earth, this series explores the interplay between light, technology, and the aspirations that drive us forward.

"Ulterior" delves into how our relationship with light—both as a physical phenomenon and a metaphor for enlightenment—guides our journeys. Through innovative techniques in photography, digital manipulation, and immersive virtual reality (VR), each piece captures the essence of our dreams, urging viewers to consider what lies beneath the surface of our aspirations. What drives us? What do we leave behind?

As VR technology continues to redefine our reality, it offers a powerful lens through which to examine our ambitions and connections. This immersive medium blurs the lines between the tangible and the imagined, providing new pathways to explore the complexities of our desires. Yet, as we navigate these digital landscapes, we are reminded of the ephemeral nature of our experiences. Each moment, while enriched by technology, is also a reminder of our mortality.

"Ulterior" serves as a meditation on the beauty and urgency of pursuing our dreams. It challenges us to confront the underlying motivations that propel us forward while recognizing that our time is limited. In this intersection of light, technology, and human experience, we discover the inspiration to chase our visions with purpose and authenticity.

Ultimately, "Ulterior" is a call to action—to not only dream but to engage deeply with the world around us. It invites us to illuminate our paths with intention, crafting a future that honors the delicate balance between aspiration and the time we have to realize it. In this exploration, we find that our truest selves are often hidden in the shadows, waiting to be brought into the light.
