Amanda Clarke, Old India in New Eyes (TRAVEL 2024)

A small, square window cut into an ancient stone wall offers a glimpse of India's pastoral beauty, with a hazy, temple-like edifice in the distance, hinting at the country's rich history. A second scene captures the dynamic presence of monkeys as they navigate the complex carvings of a historic architectural wall, underscoring the seamless integration of India's wildlife with its cultural heritage. Finally, a view from within a rocky cavern opens up to a lively water channel, snaking through steep cliffs toward a bustling community, reflecting the deep interconnection between India's natural landscapes and its vibrant human activity.
