FURQAT

'Furqat' - Separation (of one's beloved)

Shot in the early days  of lockdown 2020, 'Furqat' depicts how lovers or close friends stayed home, rejoicing their virtual company, holding onto their urge to step out and meet their better halves, in the hope of a better tomorrow. Each photo depicts 'togetherness' in a unique sense of sight, hearing, and touch.

Vision/ Eyes as a sense of togetherness.

The concept for this photograph was inspired by the famous quote of Rumi- "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." We humans really connect more through our intellectual wave-lengths and less by mere physical unison; which gets me to think that Lovers around the world can still unite, but physically. "We meet where our ideas meet. We meet in Rumi's field.."

 Voice as a sense of togetherness.

"I celebrate my Lover by singing the songs he sings. And I know he does the same for me. All our Strings Attached in the era of No strings attached."

Ears as a sense of togetherness.

"You won't speak to anyone, although wanted someone to understand you, thoroughly. I asked myself, how can anyone know you really, without hearing words from you.. We sat there in contemplation, and you offered me one of your earbuds. My questions were answered without words."

Touch as a sense of togetherness.
