Artist's Statement
I consider the ability to take photos through how I'm feeling as a tremendous privilege as it provides me an emotional and creative outlet like no other. It’s all about perspective and the ability to create a unique aspect to a photo that makes it so special and personal for me. I like being in full control of the creation and execution because the ability to convey a message/reaction from another is the greatest feeling personally. Ironically, the theme of isolation is usually what channels my emotions directly into creating so I thought it was fitting to represent these images from initial feelings of boredom and thus trying to use perspective to tell a story.
Priya Bhavikatti is a sophomore at Culver City High School in Culver City, California.
