The World looks different over the anxious days of lock-down, as the COVID-19 pandemic rages like wildfire around the globe. Being confined within the perimeters of home, with ample time to explore, opened up possibilities and new ways to look at the very place I've been staying at for over 20 years now. Compiling this project was challenging, be it mastering the techniques or composing the shots that complemented the narrative. It was also an extremely intricate learning process- the urge to find new perspectives and analogies and continuous striving to recognize the striking patterns and unique moments, hiding amidst the mundane chores.
My work revolves around the day to day activities, while trying to find the greater manifestation, hidden amongst those. It is all about how the lights fall, about the shadows they cast and about bringing forth the stories, within, forming in the emotional undercurrents that continue to flow beneath the seemingly calm passage of anxious days.
