24. Haleh Bryan’s Artist Statement When I look through the lens I envision art and the exploration of possibilities without imprisonment of these objects inside their walls of familiarity. In every image I see opportunity and I am not afraid of distorting my images to achieve an extraordinary effect, something uniquely different from a plain comfortable object. My photography and artistic view is not about limiting myself to one layout or even a semblance of familiarity. My photography pushes the limits of sensuality and eroticism and I attempt to accentuate my objects through creative expression to breakdown the barriers around cultural values and mores. My passion for mixed media has allowed me to experiment with textures, graphics, and visualization of imagery which should enhance the viewer’s imagination. While accomplishing a unique presentation, I often experiment with blending of multiple images with a common theme by creating various textures from all the objects available to me. Although the object is central to my theme it is just a vehicle that allows me to communicate a specific feeling, emotion, fantasy or memory and collaborates to result in what I envision my art to become. Often my photography and art reflects my personal fantasies and emotions but also provides an insight into my view of the object’s soul.
