FURQAT - SEPARATION
'We meet where our Ideas meet.'
Vision/ Eyes as a sense of togetherness.
The concept for this photograph was inspired by the famous quote of Rumi- "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." We humans really connect more through our intellectual wave-lengths and less by mere physical unison; which gets me to think that Lovers around the world can still unite, but physically. "We meet where our ideas meet. We meet in Rumi's field.."

'All Strings Attached.'
Voice as a sense of togetherness.
I celebrate my Lover by singing the songs he sings. And I know he does the same to remember me.
"We have All our Strings Attached in this era of No strings attached."

'When words fail.'
Hearing as a sense of togetherness.
"You won't speak to anyone, although wanted someone to understand you, thoroughly. I asked myself, how can anyone know you really, without hearing words from you.. We sat there in contemplation, and you offered me one of your earbuds. My questions were answered without words."

Honorable mention, Better Photography Contest themed 'Togetherness'.
'Within You, Without You.'
Touch as a sense of togetherness.
My room is filled with things that were once yours, objects that you once touched. While remembering you in everything I do and everything I see, I have become, You.

मैं नो हीर ना आखो कोई। "
