“Imagination Unchained: A Ripple Through Reality” is a solo show by photographer Joumana Jamhouri.
When Ms. Jamhouri was asked about the discovery of her photography talent, and the purpose behind these pictures, she answered:
“The discovery of photography has been a dazzling moment of revelation in my life. Here I have finally found a way to channel the wellspring of ideas, sensations and emotions that envelop and engulf me with their inescapable force and presence and thereon transform them into order and beauty.
To me, taking a photograph has never been only about reproducing a source from reality, but a means to explore the unknown, to perceive, if only for a fleeting moment, what some call the sixth dimension, to search for the ineffable truth that we name Beauty, Perfection, Order, Harmony and Love. In addition to that, it has also been a first, hesitant step to counter our existential solitude in this world, an essential attribute of our being.”
