I’m Gowtham - an artist using light, language, and technology to reimagine the human experience.

I photograph light, shadow, stillness - and everything we don’t say aloud.
I build with technology too. Not to scale, but to explore.
I’m not a founder in the Silicon Valley sense.
I’m an artist in the Ibsen sense - here to question systems, expose contradictions, and disrupt what we quietly inherit.

Through my lens, I don’t capture truth.
I capture the angle from which it was seen.

Because two people can sit across the same table and see entirely different worlds.
Not because one is wrong - but because they’re seated differently.

This is my visual philosophy.
A blend of phenomenology, emotional friction, and narrative disobedience - in service of reimagining the human experience itself.

Photography is one way I practice it.
But sometimes, I build it too.

My tech startup, HumansHere, is a continuation of these same questions:
What does it mean to be compatible?
What if emotional intelligence could be understood, not just guessed?
Can intimacy be designed - not in an algorithmic sense, but in a way that honors what it means to be human?

HumansHere isn’t a dating app.
It’s a belief system. A lens. A quiet rebellion against how we’ve been taught to connect.

Welcome to the other side of the table.

Gowtham lives and creates in Chicago. He’s available for exhibitions, collaborations, or conversations - anywhere curiosity travels.
