This photograph contrasts two symbols: the enduring pyramids (monuments to human ingenuity) and the litter strewn across the foreground, a reflection of modern neglect. The sky looms with heavy clouds, adding a dramatic backdrop to this juxtaposition, emphasizing the divide between humanity's greatest achievements and its most destructive habits. Through this image, I hope to inspire others to think about preservation, not only as an act of admiration for the past but as a necessary commitment to a sustainable and respectful future.

Hi, I’m Ayush. Photography, for me, has always been less about freezing time and more about framing the questions we often overlook. It’s about abstract expression, about emotion. I’ve learned that photographs should never come at the expense of truly living a moment—they should emerge from it. My journey with photography began during the COVID-19 outbreak, and it has never left me. Over time, it’s has become one of my deepest forms of communication. What draws me back again and again is the possibility that an image can hold both beauty and discomfort, both truth and imagination.
