Hello everyone! We have recently
been busy with a lot of different projects ranging from documentaries to
weddings. Thus, I was unable to update the blog due to time constraints. In the midst of so much work, I pondered over the importance of work life balance.
The irony is that we study
through our entire lives to be able to have a good life. When we have studied,
the definition of what is a good life becomes muddled. Can we only identify ourselves
through our work? Is there anything else beyond this temporary illusion termed
as a “career”? All of these questions got me thinking and I decided to delve
into the intricacies and mysteries of the most difficult quest for any human,
the quest for truth.
As I have evolved into a photographer
in my journey with Pi Studio, I have met different people from diverse
backgrounds, which have considerably opened my vision and understanding.
However, there is one observation in most of the people I have met, that they
do not know their purpose in life and most of them simplify their lives into
the humdrum of waking up, earning, sleeping and retiring. It is as if most of
them do not want to get out of the box they have confined themselves into.
However, Pi Studio always aims to
diverge and go onto the road less travelled. Thus we began a series of shoots
on the theme titled “Think Alternatively”. The series of this shoots is called
“Death of the soul”. The basic concept of this series is that how we humans
tend to kill the inner child within with the excuse of life stress due to
family and work pressures.
Thus, Pi Studio shot a series of
images dedicated to the quest for truth. Some images are interpretations of the
various ways in which truth has been revealed in the society. We were also
amazed at how great people had sacrificed their lives for the quest of truth.
As the name implies the album
“Death of the Soul” is still an ongoing project, as a lot of introspection is pending in the quest for understanding one self and the search for the ultimate Truth. We hope all of us start to think in a divergent manner so that new
ideas can add fuel to our nation and the society’s growth.
