TITLE: Isolation
Photographed all these images in one of the best mental asylum at Ranchi in India. When I visited the asylum few years back , I saw in their eyes the agony of loneliness, despair, anxiety and lastly social isolation .I always wanted people to see their faces and look deep inside their souls and heart .
Other story is who recovered from mental illness after many years , their family already forgot who they are and lastly they were settled in a rehabilitation center .The series aims to provide an intimate look into the life of people suffering from mental illness. These are the stories that need to be seen and need to be told.
AUTHOR: Kaushik Dolui (India)
Born in Howrah, West Bengal India but currently, I am in Govt service, working and living in Kolkata, I am graduated and completed Master Degree in Economics from Calcutta University,. In my childhood days, I did the drawing and painting, later in my mid-twenties, I developed an interest in photography I completed a course in Photography from a local institution at Howrah.. The passion for photography began early using an analog camera for about three/ four years. Later the digital camera came. I participated in different photographic salons under FIAP and PSA patronages and won many awards/acceptances over the time and it is still continuing. Over time I always wanted to create something new and in a broad sense something new to this world, not just capture an image. I have developed my own style where I can establish my feelings about life more intensely. I tried to capture the photographic elements in such a way that I can develop my dreams, self-expression has now developed into a unique language in black & white. I try to convey a quiet stillness of emotion with a deep thought to the natural surroundings creating a unique vision.
