Limpha cyanotype series directs attention to the need to find balance by combining opposites. Inspired by my grandfather’s vintage stamp collection, it reflects a social and cultural system in which men held power while women remained marginalized. The choice of technique was not accidental; in the cyanotype process, I find the poetry of the coexistence of duality. An image emerges from darkness through direct light, without a camera. By deconstructing and redefining the value system, I see an opportunity for a world that offers diversity and choice rather than uniformity and necessity.
