Aamora Featured Artist May 2012

MaYa Sinji Jung

For many years, I’ve tried to settle my toes down on the road, but never succeeded. So many sweet homes & good people I met and adored, but always, my toes were humbly rumbled as there was always a missing (or, invisible) part, which made me float in the air like a ghost.

For last few months, I have been taking photographs as a weapon against the fear, sadness & disappointment from my recent life. As I am at home, it was easy, but not too easy to accept the fact that I am home. So true.

A beacon does not shine on its own base. But a camera does. In the end, it was a journey home to find myself again. I take photograph with those reasons.

This is a small glimspe from MaYa’s I Am Home series.

Stayed tuned for more MaYa on aamora . . .
