THE SILENT WARRIOR

"THE SILENT WARRIOR" represents the struggle each of us faces in battles imposed by life. It portrays someone who, after every defeat, rises again and continues their journey.
Internally, I've been fighting for years to overcome my limits, and it's from this journey that the inspiration for this series arises.
Every element in this collection, including the horses and soldiers, was handmade by me. The backdrop and earth gathered from the fields brought the environment to life, while the use of dust (generated with a hairdryer) and smoke contributed to crafting a truly unique atmosphere.

My name is Qaiser Nadeem, I am a 38 years old artist and conceptual photographer based in Italy, My photography journey started in 2013.

As an introverted individual, expressing emotions and communicating have always been challenging for me. Photography serves as my medium for articulating those elusive feelings that often elude verbal expression. Through my work, I delve into the depths of my psyche, using imagery to bridge the gap between my inner world and the outer realm, inviting viewers to explore the intricacies of human emotion and introspection.
