existentially underground

The site chosen is Kaifi Azmi park, on 10th road , JVPD scheme. Whilst walking on the main road, I am surrounded by the concrete jungle, and suddenly my eyes fall on this beautiful park, with lush green trees, and sprawling plants.
Like a lost traveller drawn towards an oasis in the middle of the desert, I walked into the park and found myself in another world. Suddenly everything went black around me.

All I could see was faint, silvery-white, ghostlike tendrils all around me. That was when i realised I was trapped underground.

Act 1_week 2 : (Dis)appearing of the Tidal Monster

THE AMUSING TIDAL MONSTER

I was walking on the beach all alone, the sea calm and smooth. The journey became monotonous after a long stretch of walking and so I picked up a stone of the shore and threw it far into the sea. The object shimmered and drifted towards the sea, the waves became mysterious. It was astonishing to see an enormous creature arising from the sea, so I took a step forward towards it and instantly it disintegrated with the waves. The urge to see the same instance again I immediately picked up another stone and threw it further away, creature arose again which more number of tentacles. Every time I threw, the tentacles differed based on the distance.

the dark night

"There is no darkness but ignorance" - William Shakespeare

I awoke with a start.
"What was that noise I wonder?"
To the corner of the room my eyes did dart,
And I felt my body shudder.

No words can be a fitting description
Of what lay before my eyes.
On hindsight, maybe it was a manifestation
Of the darkness that in my mind lies.

But in that moment nothing else mattered,
Just total paralyzing horror did i mark;
And in the cold terror, my teeth chattered
As I was overcome with fear of the dark.

The Insightful Hand

This video shows the journey the dark passenger takes me through and all the different characters present in the journey.

awakening the dark passenger

The sketch shows how unknowingly I awaken the dark passenger.

The Dark passenger

When I try to get up for college every morning I want to sleep for some more time .while asleep all kinds of thoughts run through my mind and the sound of alarm clock acts like a hurdle in those thoughts and creates disturbance due to which various thoughts overlap. This overlaps awakens the dark passenger with thin me. This dark passenger takes me through a frightening journey where i meet different terrifying characters who try to kill me. This thought of me killing myself wakes me up. I m shocked and scared of sleeping anymore.

"I blend in with the darkness
the Darkness is my guide.
This place is my home...
it's The Dark Side."

"Sometimes my eye exists

without me,and I am carried

everywhere at once until the center is far away

and in the blackness, distant as an undiscovered star

you are closer than you've ever been"

act 1_week 1: The Insightful Hand

After a dull saturated day when things were not falling in place, everything seemed dark and dull until I see this piece of mirror tinkling and glittering in one corner of the road. It attracted me and I went ahead and picked it up in my hand. The mirror cuts my lines of fate and there are scars that start developing on my hand. My hand starts getting harder and stiffer. My hand starts shivering and soon I start observing the surrounding reflection appearing on my hand. Soon to my observation I realize that my hand has turned into a mirror turning the mirror into a red tinted glass.

Quote - The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different.

act 1_week 1: The Slaving Clone

From all the things that appeal to me during my holidays, I create images of how I want to see myself at that time and then I set about cloning myself so my presence is felt even where I don’t want to be. The imposed and the internal clone together create an artificial optimism. To gain this artificial optimism, I create three clones of myself once a year(during my vacations) fulfilling the activities I want to accomplish during that time –the first is the one who fulfils her hobby, the second who goes for a long vacation and the third who completes the pending work at home or college.
