by Harshal Desai
Hope surrounds us in many avatars, says Harshal through his photographs. It is the vibrant hue of a butterfly wings ready to soar, a seed that springs forth life among the hard stony paths. Hope is a link to the divine that provides serenity and courage to start again, instilling a sense of togetherness and communal strength. Whether through connecting with nature or praying to God, hope is everywhere, one just needs to seek it.
Wings of Summer: The leaves call upon phosphorescence and the butterfly cascades softly. Nature loves colors. The intricate anatomy of a butterfly in folds of hues inspires life.
Divine Aura: Meditative state of trance, with a warm orange aura. The Latin tabula rasa. Examine yourself, and one can find all answers. Begin again.
Life: Even the hardest ruins have life. Amid pebbles and the stony path, life will grow. A spurt of green is hope for a new beginning.
Prayer: Prayer. Communal Healing. The power of collective restoration can instill hope with a subtle armor of blessing.
