between Changes

Each spring, Kashmir returns with its contradictions. 
Plum blossoms and unpredictability. 
Light and loss. 
Srinagar now carries a different weight. 
The city wears a new face: a smart city, they call it. 
Electric buses hum past manicured boulevards, the lake reflects cleaner edges, floodlights crown the Shankaracharya Hill, and tricolours bloom like wildflowers across every street.

This work begins in that dissonance. Between the city's polished surfaces and the silent changes inside a home that is slowly emptying out.
The images hold moments where something didn't sit right. 
Where beauty leaned too far into discomfort, 
where stillness threatened to crack.
I try to ask why. 

Beneath the lights and the slogans, the occupation still hums, persistent and quiet. The cracks are not always visible, but they remain. In this city of constant revision, the camera becomes a way to sit with what doesn’t settle.

The photographs try to show what is, and are aided by the words and the music in the quest to reveal all the conversations that happen, when everyone is forced to be silent.
