Artist’s note:

This compilation of images could be seen an extension of meditations on language. While writing poetry, words take you across the barriers of time and to all possible distances. Behind them is an awareness of the insignificance of the human race and the dewy-hope that poetry and language provides. It also carries within inevitable moments when a melting language vanishes into water or wind. Amidst the two, I inhabit poetry having secured in my palm things mysterious and naked.

MP Pratheesh is a Kerala based poet and photographer. He has published four collections of poetry in Malayalam. His poems have appeared in several places including Kavya BharatiThe Bombay ReviewKerala Kavitha, and Indian Literature.
