Artist Statement

“Khwabeeda”-The Ancient Drama :
The rocks used for the embankment of the rivers are joined with each other by the use of coal tar and these coal tars create different shapes and figures on the rocks. These abstract figures and shapes give rise to an ambience of ancient drama.
Envisaging and imaging Forms and Colour scattered around us, from a different perspective, this project will seek further possibilities to explore upon the possibilities to toil with ‘Form’ and ‘Colour’ and their relationships derived from classical ideals of balance and symmetry.

How it fits into contest

It takes creative imagination and concept to be able to capture subjects in an abstract way. We are only limited by our vision and ideas. Changing our usual perspective of the subject helps to create abstract images. Shooting from up-down could allow us to focus on its shape and form.

The rocks used for the embankment of the rivers are joined with each other by the use of coal tar and these coal tars create different shapes and figures on the rocks. These abstract figures and shapes give rise to an ambience of ancient drama.

Every day, in every country in the world, women are confronted by discrimination and inequality. They face violence, abuse and unequal treatment at home, at work and in their wider communities – and are denied opportunities to learn, to earn and to lead.

In this photo story, I have tried to portray the spiritual battle of women all over the world ,through some fictional figures formed by coal tar on the rocks.
