This photographic project unfolds in the captivating realm of Mustang, a secluded region nestled in the Nepalese Himalaya. Having devoted nearly two decades to working and residing in this ethereal landscape, it emerges as an enchanting open expanse that paradoxically embodies both freedom and confinement.
To such an extent that the juxtaposition of liberation and restraint becomes palpable, akin to an enchanted haven that serves as both a liberating sanctuary and a confining prison. The duality inherent in this high-altitude desert amplifies the paradox, creating an atmosphere where freedom and captivity coexist in intricate harmony.
Much like the constraints of a prison, time takes on a profound role as the primary observer, and silence emerges as the key to interpretation. The understanding of the scene before us transforms into something beyond ordinary perception.
In this space, reality proves to be a deceptive construct, and the lens becomes a tool to unravel the hidden layers of truth concealed in the interplay of light, rain, snow, sun, and even fluctuating moods.
The very essence of things as they exist undergoes a metamorphosis, evolving into a subjective interpretation shaped by the alterations in our surroundings. It is a poignant realization that the truth of things is not an absolute reality but a construct confined within the boundaries of our own minds.
