Delhi Eye is a visual exploration of life in transit, set against the backdrop of New Delhi’s bustling railway stations. Through a collection of portraits and environmental scenes, this series unveils the silent stories unfolding in the moments before departure.
Here, the station is more than just a place—it is a crossroads of past and future, where anticipation, fatigue, and quiet reflection coexist. Merchants returning home after long days of work, students setting off toward uncertain dreams, families embarking on life-changing journeys. Each face tells a story, each glance reveals an unspoken emotion, each hand clutching a bag holds a world of memories.
The Indian railway system is more than a mode of transportation—it is the lifeline of a vast and diverse nation. With millions of passengers moving daily, it serves as a bridge between the rural and the urban, the old and the new. Trains connect people not just physically, but emotionally, weaving together countless personal narratives into the fabric of India’s collective experience. Within the stations, life unfolds in its purest form, encapsulating the struggles, hopes, and resilience of those who pass through.
Delhi, a city of immense contrasts, mirrors this sense of movement and transformation. Home to over 30 million people, it is a place where history and modernity collide—where Mughal architecture stands alongside glass skyscrapers, and ancient bazaars exist in the shadow of metro lines. The railway stations of Delhi embody this duality, serving as both a gateway to opportunity and a reflection of the city’s ceaseless energy. In this dynamic landscape, Delhi Eye captures the human stories behind the chaos, offering a glimpse into the quiet, contemplative moments that exist within the rush.
By blending intimate close-ups with expansive contextual shots, Delhi Eye invites viewers to pause and observe the beauty in waiting. In this fleeting, liminal space between departure and arrival, time slows down, and emotions surface. The wait is never just about minutes ticking by—it is about hope, uncertainty, resilience, and the silent weight of the journey ahead.
