Backing his artistic drives in the best way, the beautiful collection of dried seeds at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has ruled his art stream. Forming a part of the carpological archive at the Garden, they inspired his artistic nerves to the full. He lost his heart to their alluring age curves and lines. Their dried pods churned the waves of creativity resting inside him. Grabbing the best shots awaiting around, he went through the collection for hours.

A similar line of fascination runs through 117 photographs that he clicked from 100 individual pieces per species in the collection. Arranging the best in kind peep into the scenario, he has compiled his efforts in his book titled: ‘The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits’.

Shedding light on his efforts, he shared, “I tried to make sure all methods were included in the overall edit so that the work becomes an educational tool, not just pretty pictures.” Adding to that, he said, “Each specimen is contained within a small box, and sometimes, you would find a handwritten note on a scrap of paper where the botanist provided a visual description of the surroundings where the specimen was found. Some of these specimens are over 100 years old, and reading these very personal notes made me wonder what the botanist had to go through to find that specimen. What were their traveling conditions like? What did they have to endure to bring the specimen back to Edinburgh? Reading these notes gave me a connection with the botanist and was certainly one of my personal highlights of the project.”
