About the author:

Rohan Thapa (b.1982) is a graduate of political science, and currently works as a photographer based in Spain. His works mainly focus on literary, social and political identities, with a strong emphasis on the natural environment.

About the book:

The title of the book is Sutra meaning ‘string’ or ‘thread’. Using photography as a ritual Rohan Thapa braids several discourses in one. The series that are intertwined try to make us escape through the hollows of the trees, to record in a blank sheet the contamination of the air by a multinational, to capture the visual fragility of the community and continue the mountain to the interior of the person. Sutra is a book that shares a visual and tactile experience with consumption, blindness and nature.

Book ‘SUTRA’ binds-
SUNYA- the space in nature
EU.PNEA- air pollution by a multinational corporation
IN VISIBLE- portraits regarding visual dependency
PULSE- identity mirrored through mountains
