These photographs present us with the spare images of the salt desert in Kutch. Kutch is a district in the western state of Gujarat near the Pakistani border. The photographs reflect upon the solitude the individual experiences when confronted with the uninhabited vastness of space. The overwhelming power of nature, its silence, and the eternity of the horizon allows for revelation and contemplation. The few human traces left on the unchartered terrain are reminiscent of a civilization that is environmentally exploitative and ruled by logic of devastation.
