WHERE THE WAVES MEET THE OCEAN

August 21, 2023

Eternal Patterns
Unfettered
Little drops on the sandy shore unfettered by the endless horizon.
Time & Tide
Will you wait for me?
THIS MINUTE
While you were on your phone
STATE OF THE ART
Sorry, I haven’t texted you back
HUSTLER
I have another meeting starting now

Travel, for me, is a state of mind and photography – an open-eye meditation. I travel every second, and every journey is transformative. In some journeys, I sit still; in others, I move, often with a camera. Every time the shutter releases, the past, and the future blur, enhancing the present – bringing into focus what I would typically miss with a screen in front of me.

The photos in this series are a collection of seemingly unexciting moments – mundane moments, as we say. But for me, these moments hold immense wisdom.

In the fleeting, there’s a forever;
In the mundane, there’s magnificence.

This series “Where the Waves Meet the Ocean” is an ongoing project. It started on my last trip to Chennai, India – where I was born and raised. Having lived two decades in Europe, I return home every year with a new inner eye.

I see patterns that are ubiquitous yet very characteristic of a place and its people. I see stories I would have missed if I were looking at my phone – stories worth telling and rewriting from a new perspective. The camera allows for a natural digital detox bringing me to the present moment. In a fleeting second, I realize I am the wave looking for the ocean.

We experience well-being in the analog life – not digital, yet we tend to seek it digitally when we are not aware. Like the waves searching for the ocean – being it and not knowing it. This realization sparked an inner journey that led to this photo series.
