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 latest publication 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.
