Immanuel Kant had said, “All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason...” The business of images today, in whatever applicable form for any reason, is an imperative, and as indispensable as breathing. In this and the forthcoming photo-investigations, I will attempt to decipher the morphology of our senses, their importance, their evolution and the contemporary science behind understanding these faculties, and the part they play in general, especially, in our particular pursuit. My vocation of photography is actually the daily practice of sensing, it is for me the means, to identify, discover and propose aesthetic dimensions that would appeal to our senses, that are yet undiscovered and uncatalogued.

Transcendence is a visual narrative which asks us to look beyond the reality of the photograph(s) as a recorded document, but rather to have it seen as a visual journey into the revelation of self

The relationship between the self and other is one of the most exquisite theoretical issues in the social sciences (Ziller 1990). The essential question 'Who am I?' hides, in my opinion, the equation of infinity of unknowns interconnected with the combination of random and non-random equations around (in discourse with Bronfenbrenner´s socioecological model, Bronfenbrenner 1986, 1992, 2009) and before-behind (in discourse with Erikson´s stages of psychosocial development, Erikson 1963).
