On how the idea took shape
I have been reflecting a lot on images (moving and still), on their generation and their life, on the idea that an image can be much more than what it depicts; it can carry a spiritual energy. I am very interested in the emotional connection that one can have with images, and I posit that images can have a life of their own, they can have the will to be seen and can be spiritually charged.

On Darshan in the Internet Age
A Darshan is the act of seeing and being seen. The fact that one can do it through the Internet is a sign that spirituality has a place on the Web. It's intellectually engaging and by essence beautiful. I am working with what is culturally the closest to me: Online Darshan, but I am quite sure that it exists in other countries and cultures.

On the Internet and our perception of faith
Our perception of the Internet has changed drastically in the past 10 years - from a conduit of communication it has become a tangible space that we inhabit. It's only natural that now we connect with the presence of God on the Web.
