We come across many people everyday while going to/returning from work- different faces that doesn't cross our minds ever after that one first glance. That is the things about human mind- We are so habituated in forming a routine around our lifestyles that taking a fraction of a minute out to look at each other's faces sometimes befalls as a task unplanned.
While on my way back from work during Christmas one time, I spotted this young gentleman trying to meet day's end by selling festive & party props on the streets. Funny how he had decided to put on face of evil as the purest gesture to make a sell.
The image shot in Park Street area of Kolkata, India shows that the only everyday evil is our busy schedules becoming so hectic that we do not look up towards the simplest of views in our daily lives.
Image shot in year- 2019

Ever since I was a kid, I've been immensely fond of certain elements inclusive of varied factors and phenomena. My fascination towards intense colours, diverse festivals and beautiful skies have been heavily influenced by growing up in India. The feeling of being brushed on the face with a gush of cold wind on a foggy winter morning is as momentous as being rushed to the side of a narrow street by daily commuters swiftly passing through in their bicycles. We come across thousands of individuals in our lifetime and somehow without knowing all of their stories, they become a part of ours. My genesis collection reflects all those moments that I have connected with while growing up.
I've realised there's a melody in being undiscovered. Hence in this collection, I celebrate the extraordinary common people who I wish I could've known more about. Each image clicked in between the years 2016-2021 reflects a story without revealing the subjects identity in some way or another.
