In this series of Artworks I have played around with the aesthetics of the macabre.My main concern was to illustrate how absurd reality has been in the past.In the future when we take our own reality out of context, things will also seem absurd, even the everyday normal things. I have tried to show how normal the absurd is , when I started this project I was struck by the absurdity of all the images depicted but being subjected to them for a long period of time they have become my norm .So one could say that I have been conditioned and desensitized.
