The Photographic Art of B.A. Bosaiya
B. A. Bosaiya
We have come to see the world as devoid of mystery, and with these images I hope to restore some sense of wonder
about the world around us. There was once a greater sense of mystery in the world - sailors of long ago would tell tales of mysterious beasts
in uncharted areas of the flat Earth. Hand-drawn maps had vast areas marked as “Unknown” and the darkest corners were marked with the
wondrous phrase, “Here there be Dragons.” Those days are gone now and the deep, dark secret places exist for us only inside our minds and in our imaginations.
These photographs ask viewers to examine their interior lives, the secrets within themselves. My photos can act as a mirror
into the viewer’s unconscious mind. One thing that can be said for certain is that my photographs provide an instantaneous visceral
reaction in almost every viewer. I want the images to do this, to encourage people to look into their interior lives, and to become aware
of the mystery and beauty of the world around them. Home
