Sunflowers Everywhere
It is really easy for us to forget the beauty and joys of the world during our hard times. In the photo series, I have captured the beauty that I am surrounded with and the scenarios that reminded me of the good times I have had. It is an attempt to remind myself to be grateful even when I am going through difficulties. We should follow the positive things in life, just like a sunflower follows the sunlight. The project explores the connection between my memories and my surroundings through the surrounding landscapes. It also shows how different landscapes are connected to each other through the memories. Having moved to the United Kingdom from India, there were many objects/ scenarios that reminded me of some of my fondest memories, even though it was my first time in this country. The project made me realize that the world is connected through our memories and although the cultures are different around the world, these moments serve as the connecting links. The series captures my surroundings from all the places I have lived in for the past few years. The photographs are based on my observations and my instantaneous thoughts on these observations.
