Manifest (2023)
Manifest is a series of landscape photographs made across North Goa in the winter of 2022-2023. Photographed at night with a strobe, the images present residual observations of burnt charred forests.
Derived from the observations of land reclamation, the burning of forests and its regeneration, the photographic prints are manipulated by crushing to intertwine visuality and tactility - making them inextricable from each other - a mediation on the cyclical nature of life and death.
