Fading Away - Unbound and Free
‘Fading Away - Unbound and Free’ is about the journey of stepping into the unexpected and the unknown - photos and writings about the lands of Nako, Tabo and Kaza, ancient villages in the backdrop of desert moutain walls and swelling rivers in the Spiti Valley in India. A place that stretched my imaginations, perceptions and perspective. The land gripped me with its unpretentious beauty, bold simplicity and cavernous wisdom. Its presence felt like an explosion in my mind flooding every sense of my being. Today it’s a land in blatant conflict of ancient and sameness of modernity.
The sun glints through the mountains and the river, and the heart is pierced in moments of beauty and strange pain. My heart, with all its desolation wants to hang on to the purity of this land. My soul can’t help imagining how the transparency of this picturesque existence is being rapidly increased, how it is fading away.
So quickly and so surely, we are losing it all.
