E D I T I O N : Q 4 . 2 0 1 6

I grew up in Coimbatore and was always taught to share love around and seek for the valuable intangible things in life. I believe and live by the same. I’m 23. A degree in architecture. But it was just a feather in the hat. Photography and visual expression is a spine I cherish. I love projecting out ‘life’. I travel now to fill my soul and urges of expression and exploration. I yearn to pass on great things around us through my work.

Beauty here lies not in it’s structures but the setting in which the structure takes it’s shape. The nature around it is what adds the timelessness.

dubai is a place considered to be the dreamland of architects. it is in a way but it is also the war field of ego, greed and excessive luxurious lifestyle. every building is a bullet onto earth. this photo series tries to visualise and interpret the landscapes of the city in it’s raw form factor.
