Love for Earth, Unni Pulikkal S., Archival print

Love for my earth begins from a small pebble on the riverbed and does not end at the peak of a mountain. Love for my earth begins at the first ray of light at the horizon and does not end at the last hours of the night. Love for my earth begins with thankfulness for every day I have lived on it and does not end on the last day of my life. It goes on as long as I can see, touch, hear, taste, smell, and move around a tree before its last leaf falls. Immersive is my experience, immense is my gratitude, and spontaneous is my love.

These photographs contain the smallest pleasures I have had on this earth while hoping for the highest enlightenment which may never come!

This project, completed in 2007 in collaboration with American contemporary dancers Tom Evert and Susana Weingarten, captures the profound connection between a loving couple and the natural world. The photographs depict how these two responsive artists engage in a silent dialogue with various elements of nature, expressing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and sharing the stories of their enduring love. In their performance, nature’s elements become listeners, collaborators, critics, and an emotionally responsive audience.

Every Person is a Ladscape, Installation view

The artist explores the inner landscapes shaped by environment, experiences, imagination, and cultural fabric. Within these landscapes lie notions of personal identity, plurality, and uniqueness, alongside the emotions of love, camaraderie, and their opposites.
