“Ate soup, barely stepped out for anything at all, looked outside the window at dusk, kept reading in complete silence. It was meditation of its kind.”
Himadri Sharma embraced solitude long before the pandemic officially drove the world into forced quarantine. She writes of her self-directed periods of isolation, of “creative incubation”, in great detail with Camus-like clarity in Witnessing the Light: Of Seeing, Of Seeking, Of Being (shortened as Of Seeing for this article), her first photo-book, published earlier this year.
