Life is an undulating series of moments - a dynamic entity which traverses a multitude of emotions and feelings. Through my photographs, I have attempted to capture this delicate juxtaposition of emotions, which is mirrored in the animal world. The butterfly is a hermit content in its solitude, while the ducks display a rare camaraderie as they wade through the waters of life. The bee and the wasp are in conflict poised to attack, while the crow co-exists peacefully in a man-made cityscape.
The caged butterfly yearns for freedom while the dragonfly flies freely. The owl lies dead and decaying, returning into the arms of the earth from where it had come. The amalgamation of birds sit perched on a tree, united in their individuality, just as we, as human beings of different races coexist together. In short, this collection of photographs not only illustrates the highs and lows of life, but also highlights a kind of harmony that only the passage of time could bring.
