SIRA AYATS

Within Sira's work I see a photographer blessed with the nostalgic longing and sensibility of a poet. In her hands, the camera becomes an instrument capable of portraying introspection and contemplation in intimate detail; as if her soul, questing outwards through the lens, found its way into the images she crafts, making every picture also a portrait of her own gaze. There is an evident profound reverence towards her surroundings that is present throughout her work, highlighting the artistry of a photographer whose observant gaze, while inevitably personal, raises a mirror to our shared human spirit, for us to find the brightest and warmest of colours reflected there.
