#10 - THE ROUTINE

Collection

Split Stories 2.0

Description

About the piece: To understand is to perceive patterns. Lifestyles of people around the world are influenced by the routine they set as well as by the very surroundings they are guarded inside. We do not always have to look at the society at large to identify what we are encompassed within. Charity begins at home. Growing up looking at our elders, we start mimicking their habits. Sometimes it's out of fun and otherwise it is to pretend to be a "grown up". The habitual tendencies poured in front of our eyes often tend to spill. We soak in the information without a second thought as it comes from a place of authority. Looking at our primary caregivers and the way they walk & talk, laugh, eat, sleep, handle situations, deal with pain and anger, etc., give us an idea to formulate benchmarks for similar instances. Characteristic gestures sip into our system easily just like our proneness to sipping on some hot tea every morning after waking up. It feels like a warm hug and yet like old habits, it can be hard to let go off. Artist: Sammya Brata Medium: Photography Edition: Limited to 10 Collection: Split Stories 2.0 Diptych specifications- 1920x2400 Both shots composed in the year - 2020 About the collection: 2 Photos – 1 Story - that is how I define my signature work on Split-screen or Diptych photography! When people ask me about this fairly popular body of work, I very candidly tell them that to begin with, they are extremely difficult to visualize - the execution part comes much later. More often than not, it is quite a daunting task to combine 2 or more frames together into one coherent story since most of them are not remotely connected to each other individually. Since my first collection of 1/1 diptychs received a lot of love and support from the community, I thought of coming up with a SECOND SET – this time with 10 of my favorite split-works to be released in sets of 5 with each piece having 10 editions.
