I was born into a Christian family. I was brought up as one too. Yet, as I grew older, the rituals that once held meaning now feel distant, their repetition no longer offering the comfort they once did. Faith becomes less of a certainty and more of a question. One that I could not ignore.
Photography becomes my medium in this search for answers. My project takes me far from Kerala to Gujarat, a land with a vastly different Christian presence, where churches exist in isolation, standing as quiet symbols of faith in an unfamiliar landscape. Each photograph becomes a response, a conversation between space and self. As I move from one church to another, I too change. The journey shapes me, and I hope my photographs will serve as an extension of that shifting psyche.
I continue the same journey across time. I remember my grandmother, who held my hand as I wrote the word "Amma" for the first time, and gently guided that same hand to make the sign of the cross. I remember Sundays and the slow afternoon hours of Catechism classes. Here, I turned to writing and illustrations. To reflect, return, and sometimes, rewrite faith.
The photobook consists of photographs made in churches of Gujarat, illustrations from sunday school books and writings remembering my changing relation to faith.
