KURAR grew up in a fast-changing world which continues to inspire his work. He takes a critical look at the failings of a society that cannot help but grow exponentially, resulting in an accelerated strain between the social and political aspects of society.
KURAR engages with the irreversable globalisation of our society by meticulously disecting an ever-intensifying stream of information that enriches our daily lives.
His theory revolves around the idea that we have to know where we come from, in order to guide our futures. He uses images of childhood to contrast the crude images of the present; things that were inconceivable only 100 years ago.
He questions whether our generation is subdued by the injustices we can no longer resolve, or by the narrow scope of what we define as perfection. Kurar shows us a way out. A route where we might reclaim our downfall by understanding why we are situated in this moment. He proposes reflection is the solution; and that the freedom to dream exists no matter what.
