Farshad Engineer - Portraits

Flora

She is mother nature in her youth. Curiosity breathes within her, and her eyes long to engulf all around her. She sees beauty all around and remains oblivious to the darker side of life, for now, but not for too long.

2017

Vivid Imagination

As time flew, she blossomed into a beautiful young maiden, but wiser now. She learnt that curiosity comes with a price. She seems to have it all, but her eyes reveal a significant loss incurred, one she cannot gain back for a very long time: the loss of trust. And as she grows cautiously strong, the child that lives within grows weaker.

Break Away

Life and beauty lay at the mercy of the sands of time. It comes together to build an awe-inspiring master piece and then crumbles away a few pieces at a time until all that is left is which already was sand.

Animus

She's been wounded too often to succumb to the pretext of goodwill, which makes her come off as isolated, hardened, rigid and incapable of love and giving. She knows she's not the person people see her as, but it's easier to adhere to their stereotype, for people don't bother with what they believe they already know, and she is safe from further wounds this way. She has built a wall around it, but she's open to the idea of letting it down, just very cautiously this time. While starry-eyed lovers see the moon as perfect, heartbroken souls see its loneliness and craters (flaws). She's the moon for what it really is, a reflection of the sun. She wonders if she'll ever shine as bright as the moon, depending on if the right sun for her comes along.

Invictus

He is built from his losses. He's taken every disappointment, loss, and misfortune and culminated into a physically and mentally strong man radiating excellence. He treasures his victories, but he holds his losses closer.

Phil Collins: In The Air

Man is a culmination of the sands that build the architecture where the tenant, the soul, resides. And with time, both get gnawed away piece by piece: one by age, the other by experience. Until both are transformed and find themselves so far away from their beginnings. Then death remedies them to bring them back to their origins.

Brainstorm

Hold on. There's so much more, he says. For his thoughts are no longer confined to preexisting notions and instilled beliefs. He sees what everyone sees and so much more. He has let his thought processes merge into new amalgamations, giving birth to vividity only a few will ever know, who dare to see beyond sight, listen beyond words, taste beyond flavours, and touch what's seemingly intangible. He's seeking a level of enlightenment that he now wishes to share if only they'd be capable of comprehending abstracts the way he does now.

Eyemagination

She's a simple girl with a common face by day and the mystery woman everyone desires by fall. And she has managed to master the role, so much so that even she believes the illusion she had once conjured.

NUMB

A misunderstood girl who cannot make you see cannot make anyone comprehend what is happening inside her. She cannot even describe it to herself.

WORLDS APART

Sometimes the power of imagination takes you worlds apart from your real world. Don't shut it out. Embrace it.

A WALK IN MY MIND

Only we know our perceptions, memories and feelings and no one else. What people think they know is in their minds. You want to reach self-actualization without losing enthusiasm because it's what your soul needs to breathe.

2019

PERCEPTION

How you're perceived is not your reality. An opinion is an opinion and not a fact. What is before your eyes holds less potential than what is behind them.
