INDIA: PHOTOGRAPHY: MANJARI SHARMAArtist statement: “Darshan is an ongoing series consisting of photographically recreated, classical images of Hindu Gods and Goddesses that are pivotal to mythological stories in Hinduism. Most commonly used in the context of Hindu worship, darshan is a sanskrit word that means ‘apparition’ or a ‘glimpse.’ Lead by the experiential nature of a darshan, this series explores the delicate relationship between photography and representation. Having left a ritual-driven community in India, my move to the U.S. precipitated an enormous cultural shift. It was this cultural paralysis that motivated me to use my one medium of worship–the camera–to study, construct and deconstruct the mythologies of my land.”
Please read more about the series and the individual deities on Manjari’s website. And keep up with both Manjari and MP on Instagram here and here.

One of my neighbours slipped this under my door while I was practising, I thought they were going to make a noise complaint but they just had a request. I played it with my windows open and I heard really loud clapping come from a balcony a few stories up which was super lovely. I’m in such a lovely mood now it’s so nice to be appreciated.
This is the greatest thing I’ve seen all day.
In my previous apartment, there was someone who played the piano nearby. I always opened my windows when that person practiced. I never knew exactly where it came from, but I loved it.

Also, I feel like the guys are WAY more critical and picky about their hair than the girls were. It’s also FAR more difficult to do a good short haircut than a long one.
