Seeking Hands

An artist's inability to create due to trauma

The inability of a painter to put down a single stroke of paint after experiencing personal trauma for 3 years that made him homeless. The tremors of the hand due to even the thought of a life that once was.
Stacked images to give the viewer an experience of not just a painter's hands but also the trauma that follows, in a way attempting to allow the viewer to enter the mind of the artist.

About

With a keen interest in developing a practice that benefits those he photographs, Porus Jain is a photographer and social worker whose main subject matter revolves around photographing those communities that have become invisible to the global population due to socio-political structures and economic standing. Growing up in India, he saw the transition of the news media into a corrupt politically motivated practice, benefiting from the pain of others and always depicting the minority communities in a negative light. After spending 4 years in India photographing the oppressed groups, poverty stricken population and the rural landscape, he believes in using photography as a means to give these people a voice, to bridge the gap between them and those who can actually help them. Having experienced isolation, segregation, inferiority complexes, anxiety issues and invisibility himself throughout his childhood, the true essence of Porus’s work is very personal, in an attempt to do for these people what he couldn’t do for his younger self.
