Somoyer Karagare (সময়ের কারাগারে) – The Prison of Time, By Arijit Biswas
In 2016, I, Arijit Biswas, embarked on a journey that transcends mere photography. I don’t like to call myself a photographer; instead, I prefer to be known as a Vision Finder (দৃশ্যান্বেষী) – someone who seeks and discovers the essence of the world through a lens, not just capturing moments, but understanding and interpreti
ng them. We live in a constant cycle of past, present, and future, and often, we feel confined by its fleeting nature. Yet, in the blink of an eye, moments that pass us by are captured forever in the frame. These frozen instants allow us to break free from time’s grasp, giving us the opportunity to reflect, to look back, and to understand the world around us in ways we may not have noticed before. Through my work, I aim to provide you with more than just a visual experience. I invite you to step into a world where time stands still, where every frame holds a story, and where you can find your own connection with the world. Take a moment. Slow down. Look deeper. My work is about more than just seeing; it’s about feeling, understanding, and realizing the hidden stories within the simplest of moments. I invite you to step into Somoyer Karagare, take a glimpse into my vision, and experience the time that often slips away unnoticed. Give a little bit of time to see what I see, and perhaps, in the process, you’ll realize something new about the world—and yourself. This is the journey of a Vision Finder. And I hope, in some small way, that you’ll join me in this exploration of the world through a different lens.
