SRI

Sri, a Sanskrit word meaning beauty or majesty, is still used in many South Asian languages as an honorific term denoting respect. Nick Sethi’s new publication of the same title contains 288 photographs taken over a 3 day period in 2022, in which he and his mother visited Vrindavan, an ancient city and pilgrimage site rooted in Indian mythology. Presented chronologically, the photographs investigate physical manifestations of respect and value through ritual, decoration, utility, touch, and connection to nature and one another; all common themes in Sethi’s work.  Sri accompanies a show on view July 11th-September 7th at Dashwood Projects located at 63 East 4th Street, between Bowery and Second Ave in New York’s East Village.
