Lyrics of nature

So in 44 photographs based on nature, Sanjay reveals how beautiful regular sights are, the ones we come across so often and ignore. The sky, mountains, clouds, light, leaves8230;all are in a constant confluence, all one needs is the patience to watch their actions and listen to their songs. That8217;s the message that comes across. For clouds that resemble the shape of the branches below them, Sanjay writes 8216;We8217;ll both one day go away/ why yet I mimic your branches/ or the other way around?8217; There8217;s sky lit with clouds that 8216;play lava8217;, in another capture Sanjay finds the sky dressed up in crimson for it8217;s love, also the clouds write bed time stories on the evening sky. To bright sunflowers against a dark sky the photographer urges, 8216;Don8217;t look around/ young flowers/ lies in your heart the sun8217;. Branches of a tree capture a frame 8216;sharing stories8217;. Rest of the frames portray grass stalks swaying in the wind, creeper resting on riverside moss, starburst through a hole in a leaf, studded diamonds mimicking a cater pillar, reflections in water, 8216;halo8217; of a cotton grass stalks, silhouette of a tree with 8216;thousand children in mother8217;s arm8217;. A photo capture of grass reflections in water almost looks like a sunset landscape. The bark of the nyoza tree steals the show with its colourful palette of pink, green, purple, yellow et al. Details matter, and Sanjay gives life to nature8217;s simple objects. For him each of nature8217;s moods is poetry in motion.

The exhibition is on at Punjab Kala Bhavan, Sector 16, till November 30.
