The Return of Argos

Sometimes the daylight can blind us and even with all the brightness, we can't seem to find the darkness that lives in us. But amidst the haze, when no eyes are scanning you, where you have no more pretence to indulge yourself with, you find your true self. And our true self knows to love and nurture. We keep denying our emotions but are we really what we want to project?

This snap here is about the lost language of us human beings. This shows a very common sight but its meaning runs deep indeed. In this global era where time is money and nothing else matters, where animal trafficking is just another legal business to many, this snap shows that humanity is still not lost.

The USP of this snap lies in its ordinariness.

When we can’t share our feelings with another person, often our pets that we coy with. Our unspoken words are felt by them and they never judge us. Thus be it our pet or any other being in the wilderness, they deserve their freedom and care and naturalism. With the advancement of technology, we are messed up in the "haze" and it's slowly draining us. It’s more like miasma than liberation.

Now coming to the title. Honestly while deciding the Title of this snap I felt lost. I kept on thinking but nothing seemed justified until I came across the story of Argos - the dog of Odysseus who returned after 20 years to him. I named it Return of Argos in the hope that just like Argos returned to its master, one day may humanity return to us with leaps and bounds. That one day, we humans, learn to value all other creatures on this planet and for once, just for once put others before our selfishness.

Thus “The Return of Argos” from is a message to the global audience to spread and inspire active consciousness against animal cruelty. We must remember that they might not speak our language but they know love and they understand pain. An artist should always make the world a better place and I am trying in my way.

“Amour de Grey” – an unconditional love with Grey's monotony.

Welcome to my winter collection - an ensemble of 7 moods, all set against the backdrop of grey.

Now, as you may know, Grey represents a somewhat negative sentiment, a mood that does not exactly expound happiness but monotony or gloom. But for me, “Amour de Grey” is a challenge because it withholds 7 different moods of grey and tries to break all those orthodoxies about this beautiful mid-tone.

“Amour de Grey” minutely tries to showcase the poetic meaning of winter - the struggles, the confusions, the cold, and the clouded diversions we often come across in reality. But winter is also cozy. Winter promises a new spring and likewise this collection hints at new beginnings - the daily struggle coming to an end with positive hopes.

Also, “Amour de Grey” is a case study of the rural life of the people of Northeast India - their daily chores and their efforts to advance each day. Even amidst their hardship, their brave endeavours are what inspired me to launch this collection. I want to share it worldwide to give this "view of life" a universal platform, for people to know about them, for people to share their enthusiasm.

Also, all the snaps are titled uniquely with mythological references to certain emotions that these pictures hold. I hope your journey through “Amour de Grey” removes the grey sorrows your heart holds and places a refreshing introspection instead.
