By Gaurav Bharadwaj
‘Zaaviye’, an Urdu word meaning angles or perspectives, brings together imagery and poetry in a rare and delicate embrace. What began as a dream now unfolds in an intimate exhibition and a finely crafted coffee table book.
The project features 32 evocative black-and-white photographs by Gaurav Bharadwaj, each accompanied by a verse graciously gifted by Gulzar Saab. Together, they form a meditative conversation between word and image — a dialogue between what is visible and what lingers in the poetic unseen.
Envisioned and brought to life by Gaurav — a Master of Fine Arts, art director, and award-winning advertising photographer with nearly three decades of experience — ‘Zaaviye’ was born from a dream that now finds expression in both a finely crafted book and a profound Photography exhibition.
Through ‘Zaaviye’, viewers are invited to experience the quiet resonance of emotion, thought, and artistry — where poetry lends voice to photographs, and photographs breathe life into poetry. It is a space where two mediums dissolve their boundaries to explore perspective, emotion, and memory.
