In- transit
The series of photographs reflect the nonchalance and thebeauty that is very evident in the transient phases of nature. The waves, when hit the earth, and the clouds that floatin the air, are ephemeral. Changes from one form to another often go unnoticed.
By juxtaposing the concept of transience with life withnature in the form of clouds and earth, I discovered that life itself istransient. Stages of life, moods, emotions, cravings, desires, andrelationships are all ephemeral in nature. Only phase that is fixed andperpetual is death, which we all seem to wait for by hopping all thetemporalities. Perhaps, we absorb from nature.
When we look at the sky to observe the clouds forsometime, we can almost see them appearing and disappearing. Some shapes arepleasing but mystical, but when you see them changing continuously for over along period of time, there is a substance in it, which helps one to understand the importance of changein their lives. Similarly, when we look at the infinite ocean blues, what wecan see is that it comprises of water. But what is even fascinating is aboutthe lives of the waves. How short-lived are their lives, but the immense joy it gives to the on-looker sitting onthe beach is all worth it.
And the beauty is encompassed in the little impermanent things. We can’t predict things; we can’tbe sure of what future holds for us, but what we can do is enjoy the highs andthe lows accepting the fact that nothing is going to stay forever.
Thingsand feelings come and go, and what we have to learn is to enjoy in between whatwe call as the transient. Happinessis ephemeral, but what matters at the end is how you perceive happiness. Do youjust feel sad or do you wait for the next happy moments to arrive?
