The rhythmical droplets of rain, chirping birds, newborn bird infants, quiet lakes, green trees and surroundings catch the attention of the art lovers of the city. The photograph exhibition was inaugurated here on Thursday and would be on view till Sunday.
While talking to The Pioneer, Khan said, “I have majorly focused on environment. Under this exhibition on one side I have showcased the beauty of nature, in contrast I have also displayed that why a green environment is necessary for us and how being the mankind we are destroying the precious gift of the Almighty.”
Elaborating further about his photographs he said, “At a point where the whole environment is being destroyed it was important to create awareness about it among the masses and this is the major aim behind organizing this exhibition.”
As the spectators walks through the gallery they could experience the beautiful as well as the dark views of the environment. In a picture where people are seen offering namaz under a tree, on the other hand a bad condition of lakes could also be seen. A picture defines the calmness and silence of a peaceful evening, another one narrates the tale of birds dying without food and trees.
As many as 150 photographs are displayed at the gallery. Wonderfully arranged each photograph has a story behind and each still says something about the nature. The spectators were astonished to watch such an impactful tale of environment displayed through photographs. A collage of different pictures is also displayed at the gallery which another commendable work by the artist.
