VISUAL NARRATIVES Bhargav Rajpara
Portrayal of Nyari river along with its depleting resources
This series of documentary photographs is a reflection of our recent interventions in nature. Nyari River which is sufficing the basic needs of our Rajkot city, is also used as dumping grounds by the people living nearby. The photographs depict the effect of it on surrounding lives. It is an attempt to understand how far and how greedy we humans can get. We are always too busy to understand the importance of natural resources and the pandemic has made sure to make us realize that. Not only us but the cattle dependent on these resources are suffering too. Moreover, we will lose our identity, our beloved river and the biodiversity it fosters. The new face of this place and our planet will be scarier than these images.
Cattle who are dependent on Nyari are struggling for survival
Nyari today, has been a stockpile of surrounding waste
Cattle dying on these arid plains
