Pele Par (On the Other Side) is a compilation of cyanotype visuals and poems—exploring ecological representation through visual art and poetry writing. The visuals, created through the cyanotype process, respond to embodied impressions formed during time spent by the Kaveri river. They reflect imagery and sensations deeply rooted in those experiences, while also drawing from broader ecological memories across landscapes. The writings reflect how the narration of nature is often interwoven with emotion, giving the landscape an animated, living quality. Together, the poems and images evoke a sensory and emotional exploration of presence, memory, and place.
*Today I’ll go to that river and lake to fill some colours while going I asked the rays of the sun, ‘will you come with me?’*
*keep meeting me at the other side of the ocean*
*હું પાણી બનીને રહીશ જ્યાં જગ્યા મળશે ત્યાંથી વહીશ જેટલી જગ્યા મળશે ત્યાં રહીશ જરૂર પડશે તો બરફ બની જઈશ જગ્યા નહી હોય તો વરાળ બની રહીશ અદ્રશ્ય. જીવનનાં દરેક તબક્કે પાણી જ બનીશ હંમેશા વહેતી રહીશ.*
*I will remain as water I will flow wherever I find space I will remain as much space as I find If necessary, I will become ice If there is no space, I will remain invisible as vapor. I will remain water at every stage of life I will always be flowing.*
*I saw the reflections in the river almost of everything that was around that tree, bird, stone along with I was seeing in me reflections of every situation happening around me.*
All the above visuals and poems are complied in book named Pele Par (on the other side)
