Cornerstone
This collection captures the historic architectural pulse of Chennai anchored at Parry's Corner, showcasing a dialogue between eras and styles. The set contrasts the stark, white Art Deco lines of the iconic Dare House and the LIC Building’s towering clock face against the intricate, red-brick Indo-Saracenic majesty of the Madras High Court complex. Framed by the familiar skyline presence of the YMCA, these images document the enduring "sentinels" of George Town, where the city’s colonial legacy, legal heritage, and commercial history converge at a single, storied intersection.
Confluence
A visual study of the friction between heritage and habitat at Chennai’s Napier Bridge. The historic University of Madras clock tower and the looming Doordarshan TV Tower frame the Cooum River, standing guard over a resilient ecosystem. Amidst the urban flow, Spot-billed Pelicans and Black Kites claim their space where the metropolis meets the Bay of Bengal.
Convergence
A visual journey through the historic heart of Chennai, capturing the spiritual and architectural tapestry of the Santhome and Triplicane neighborhoods. This collection highlights the striking dialogue between diverse eras and faiths: the pristine Neo-Gothic spires of the Santhome Cathedral stand in contrast to the vibrant, intricate Dravidian gopurams of the Parthasarathy Temple. Anchored by the soaring Chennai Lighthouse and the reflective waters of the temple tank, these images celebrate a city where distinct heritages coexist in timeless harmony.
Resonance
A grounding counterpoint to Ascension, this series shifts the gaze from the divine heights to the vibrant, tactile reality of the streets below. It captures the lingering spiritual energy found in the everyday—from the saturated hues of flower offerings and the weathered textures of the neighborhood, to the quiet, living presence that pulses in the shadow of the temple.
