Daughter of the sea is biker- photographer idris ahmed’s first solo exhibition. Years ago, idris took a serendipitous detour into the Spiti valley. Overawed by the stark landscape and the warmth of its people, he continued to return, eventually giving up his teaching job to follow his passion with the camera.
The powerful synergy between the land and people is artfully captured with humility and a touch of humour. The show is a journey of self discovery, as well as a loving tribute to the Spirit of Spiti -she who rose from the depths of the sea to claim her place on the roof of the world.
