Karuna Krishna

As a photographer, I am intrigued by the creation of culture and self-definition of identity. Most recently, I have been curious about my response to loss and the fragility of life. My work is intentionally small in scale, inviting you closer to the images, to make a personal connection.
“An Exploration: Nature” experiments with monoprints of nature. I depict strength that attracts me at this time of political dissonance. Reacting to the commodification of images, I chose a manual process that creates only one print at a time.

In “A Burst of Splendor,” I focus on flowers sold in wholesale markets. In their abandoned blooming, the flowers defy their own death. The shadowed bodies remind me that this is fleeting.

In the series, “Ordinary / Extraordinary,” the seeing becomes a tool to retrain thinking to find beauty everywhere. The photographs are intentionally small — to be placed where you may chance upon them — a reminder that limitless space can be experienced in an everyday moment.

My photography practice is influenced by my background in design. I find delight in the interplay of form, color, and unexpected objects.
