Everything is in motion,
life is moving,
the earth is moving.
The senses
do funny things to the mind,
which reacts in many ways.
Motion is very
inspiring.
Sitting on an Indian train watching the world change before
you,
the landscape,
the colour of the soil,
the people,
the vegetation,
and watching it all go by so fast.
I keep my
eyes open to keep my mind stimulated -
I don’t
want to miss anything
and try hard to catch this motion.
The windows inside
are dirty and old
holding scars of journeys made before.
I’ve never
captured it like this.
I would open the doors so I could see clearly.
But
I’ve seen this a thousand times,
- I wanted to see it differently.
So I stay inside,
and look through the glass window
and I see a whole new
world.
A whole new world in motion.

| Diya Sarker's Bio I was born in a little Rajasthani town called Kota, in India. My dad’s military postings kept us constantly on the move. It made me love and hate travelling. My dad is an artist and a soldier. He documents his life with sketches and pictures, something that inspired me in many ways. I have studied in many schools all over India, but Kolkata is where I have lived the longest. I studied commerce at Calcutta University, and began hating it. My love for photography and art grew stronger, I attended workshops, went for almost every art film festival, started taking pictures, started experimenting , started painting more, started observing life around me more carefully, and Kolkata is the best place in India when it comes to anything related to art. I am a self-taught graphic designer and wish to pursue a life in graphics and photography. I am and will be a student forever. |
