Last Page
Just as the last pages of our school notebooks often contained our scribbles and personal notes, this 'Last Page' is a heartfelt expression of gratitude to the many places of learning that have shaped my journey, particularly since I left my hometown to pursue photography.
Historically, Kanchipuram—my hometown—has been revered as a center of learning, and that spirit has deeply influenced my journey. This journey has been one of continuous learning, and I hold deep appreciation for every space—photo festivals, exhibitions, workshops, grants, residencies, galleries and foundations—where I have had the chance to learn, unlearn, and grow, both in art and in life.
I am grateful to the places below where I met photographers, artists, mentor, curators, tutors, colleagues, and friends who have guided, challenged, and inspired me over the past two decades. These memories and connections will always remain close to my heart.
