THE SILENT WARRIOR (Series)
DESCRIPTION
"THE SILENT WARRIOR" represents the struggle each of us faces in battles imposed by life. It portrays someone who, after every defeat, rises again and continues their journey. I’m an artist and conceptual photographer. I’m a very introverted person, and this trait has helped me work on myself, even when, despite frequent conversations, I maintain the boundaries I've set. Internally, I've been fighting for years to overcome my limits, and it's from this journey that the inspiration for this series arises. I want to highlight that every element in this photographic collection, including the meticulously crafted horses and soldiers, was handmade by me. The entire series, developed in 2023, was a labor of passion and dedication, I used a blue panel to create the background, for the homemade set. The earth collected from fields brought the environment to life, while the use of dust (generated with a hairdryer) and smoke contributed to crafting a truly unique atmosphere. I hope the result conveys the intensity and originality of this creative process.
AUTHOR
My name is Qaiser Nadeem, born in Punjab Pakistan in 1985, and I am artist and conceptual photographer based in Italy. My photography journey began in 2013, and after a few years of experimentation, I discovered a path that led me to explore the depths of my inner self.
At first, I was both amazed and overwhelmed by this process. But as I ventured deeper into my psyche, I faced increasingly difficult steps. Confronting my fears, limitations, and personal demons was a complex and painful experience. Each discovery seemed to break me into pieces, but there was a strange beauty in that pain an undeniable fascination that kept me moving forward.
This journey has made me stronger, both as an artist and as a person. As an introverted individual, expressing emotions and communicating have always been challenging for me. Photography serves as my medium for articulating those elusive feelings that often elude verbal expression. Through my work, I delve into the depths of my psyche, using imagery to bridge the gap between my inner world and the outer realm, inviting viewers to explore the intricacies of human emotion and introspection.
