HANSRAJ DOCHANIYA
“In my exploration of ‘Unity’ within India, I navigate the intricate tapestry of cultures, languages, and challenges that define this diverse nation. India is a mosaic rather than a seamless blend where each distinct element contributes to a harmonious whole.
“My photographs reflect resilience in the face of historical struggles and social disparities, celebrating the nation's ability to adapt and integrate. From bustling city streets to serene landscapes, each region's unique flavor adds depth to the narrative of unity. Through colours, textures, and symbols, my work invites viewers to engage with the beauty that emerges from diversity. 'Unity' in India is an ongoing journey of understanding, acceptance, and celebration, acknowledging challenges and committing to collective growth. This collection encapsulates the shared story of a nation, where differences dance together in harmony.”
