Beauty in the Ordinary

Seemingly the most mundane of things catch artist Ashu Gupta's eye. Walking around in different cities, the artist has taken photographs of commonplace, ordinary objects that one typically walks by without a second thought. Back in her studio, these photographs have lent Ashu inspiration for this artwork, wherein she connects each object to a more profound thought. From left to right, the individual works are titled "Adjustment", "Company", "Sharing", "Ageing", "Comfort", "Memories", and "Traditional". For the artist, there is beauty and meaning in the most ordinary of objects; we just need to keep our eyes, minds and hearts open to appreciate the things that surround us.
