"Artist Prabir Purkayastha creates symphony of time through Dheemahi, his series of photographs of disappearing landscapes. One glance at these landscapes invites us into the crevices and shadows of the abyss of pathos and darkened interiors. These are by no means beautiful but they are powerful in the synergy that they present."
