These Art Video Films are inspired from and featured in my forthcoming poetry and art collection , ‘Charismatic Chiaroscuro'(Shortly to be released). This collection includes approximately 80 artworks, 75 video art films, and 45 poems, intricately connected through QR codes embedded in the book. Charismatic Chiaroscuro and Shifting Silhouettes complement one another, exploring creativity’s spectrum—from words to multimedia. While Shifting Silhouettes delivers a traditional, introspective poetic experience, Charismatic Chiaroscuro expands this vision through poetry, art, and video, offering a multi-sensory journey of light, shadow, and innovation.
