Writer's Perspective
The "Writer's Perspective" is a visual documentation of my childhood writings. I recreated the feelings visually using a palate mix of orange white, grey and black. Orange and white represent the happy memories while grey and back account for the sad ones. The project is a mix of non-face portraits and object photography.

(The last sunset of the year)
We were moving away from the house that I had grown up in.
“It was a long road. I saw the sun disappearing at the end of it. It was pleasant. It was beautiful to watch. I wanted the day to end, to have a new start with the new year but at the same time i did not want the sun to set, darkness to cover the sky. I did not know what to do, I could’nt let go of my childhood in a blink of an eye. I replayed all the memories in my head. They felt as distant as the sun, yet as close as its warmth on my skin.”

(Love)
Sometimes in a sleepless night you wonder about all the hurt you went through, about every night you have cried yourself to sleep. Your heart, tired and tender, beats in fear of impair. Then why do you go off to sleep in a dream of hope to find Movie love, yet again !
"The Writer's Perspective" is my personal and heartfelt visual documentation of my childhood writings. I embarked on this creative journey to recreate the profound feelings that have shaped my early years. For this project, I carefully curated a palette encompassing shades of orange, white, grey, and black, each representing specific emotions etched in my memories.
As I revisited those cherished moments, the vibrant oranges and calming whites transported me back to the happiest of times, filling my heart with warmth and nostalgia. These colors beautifully depicted the essence of joyous memories that continue to resonate within me.
However, I also acknowledged the bittersweet nature of life, and that's where the subtle greys and solemn blacks came into play. These tones artfully captured the weight of melancholic moments, bringing forth the experiences that shaped me during challenging times.
What makes "The Writer's Perspective" truly unique is the combination of non-face portraits and object photography. Through this ingenious blend, I could vividly express my emotions without solely relying on traditional visual representations. The non-face portraits allowed me to showcase the essence of my experiences, while the object photography breathed life into the tangible remnants of my past.
In this deeply personal project, I've poured my heart and soul into every image, sharing glimpses of my inner world with the viewer. "The Writer's Perspective" isn't just about looking back; it's a profound exploration of the human journey, where emotions and memories converge to create an exquisite tapestry of life. I invite you to join me on this visual odyssey, as we together celebrate the beauty and complexity of existence.

(Being new to the city)
My first day in Kolkata, realised the value of home. I could’nt find my way back home. But, it seems it has found it’s way back to me. Through thoughts that travel at the speed of light, through memories that keep replaying themselves again and again, reminding me that it is time to come HOME.

(The bullying)
I was new to a neighbourhood, just started hanging out with the people and had experienced difference in thoughts, which led to fights and bullying.
There is much to be afraid of in this world, but what we fear has nothing to do with fake masks, or plastic spiders, or life like monsters. It is the thoughts that are inside the heads of people that terrefy us the most

(Carrer choices)
It happens to everyone as they grow up, I believe. You find out who you are, what you want and you realise that the people you have known forever don’t see things the way you do. You can’t live your life as how the elders want you to, you have got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurts the ones you love.

(Loss)
No one ever said that it’s going to be easy. People worth having need battles won for them. Things might not last a lifetime, but memories will. Fear of losing should not stop love, so fall. Fall with your head over heels.
