Three Lovers 
A kaleidoscopic view of love, life and personal history

Kaleidoscope reminds me of those memorable childhood times… I remember the weekly chandha (market) in my town. An old muslim fakir used to sell colorful paper covered kaleidoscopes. Almost every week my father had to buy me a new one, as I would have already opened the mysterious kaleidoscope to see what is inside, know how it works and in the process destroyed the kaleidoscope. The joy of looking through those mirrors remained with me like a psychedelic trip…. in the same way I attempt to look at my own life through a kaleidoscope. The original analog photographs and polaroid images from my family albums has become a mirror image of that time and memory.  These autobiographical personal documents is being made public through these dramatic kaleidoscopic images.
