Framed Emotions

Debut solo show of photographs by Manu Sharma

5th - 10th June 2019

Manu Sharma, a 39-year-old corporate worker, has spent most of his life trying to find a reason for his existence. He sought answers in multiple forms of art, whether it is poetry, photography, or stand-up comedy. All three gave him a different perspective. Opening oneself to the world has lead to joy, pain, and learnings that are unachievable in boardrooms or power plays of his routine corporate job. He found his true calling in photography, especially birds; his escape always has been the jungle. He found solace and emotional connection in the wilderness.

His life took a drastic turn after being diagnosed with Cancer. After a year-long struggle, he managed to find his feet back in this world. He contemplated calling this exhibition “the last chance” but decided against it as more battles lie ahead, and the desire to express himself is now, stronger than ever.

This exhibition is a dedication to his wife Dipti, and his brother, Saurav for standing by him through this turmoil that would scare the bravest of the brave. The exhibition will be inaugurated by his father Shri Suresh Sharma, a Cancer survivor himself.

All proceeds from this exhibition will go to the Cancer ward of AIIMS Hospital where Manu received his treatment.
