INNER WORK: MAKING PEACE WITH MY THOUGHTS

PHOTOGRAPHER: Judhajit Bagchi
CREATIVE: Ranadeep Bhattacharyya
PROJECT: Yaannus Atelier

Inner Work is a continuous process. For people dealing with mental health problems, this becomes a difficult fight that they have to endure every day. As artists and as human beings, we ourselves have been trying to meditate and keep our minds sane in the times of pandemic where we have to endure social isolation. We started making drawings and sketches of our experiences and arrived at the conclusion that inner work requires to be done every moment when one is struggling inside, as it is a continuous ongoing process to make peace with one’s thoughts. Every moment we have the potential within us to pull ourselves up and choose to be calm and as an observer be aware of the thoughts by listening to them and allowing them to have our attention. We need to save ourselves from negative emotions and thoughts that lead us to self loathing, guilt and fear. And that’s how we have captured every photo in the series where in between a single click, the performance artist in the frame counters his own thoughts to strive towards balance. Every photograph depicts that inner work visually.  Healthy Self ~ Heal Thy Self.
