Miguel Salas
Miguel Salas shared his experiences from Holi, the festival of color in India, which he photographed in March 2017. Holi is a Hindu festival that marks the arrival of spring and a celebration of fertility, color, and love, as well as the triumph of good versus evil. People from all around the world take part in Holi, but Miguel took the audience deep inside where the celebration started in Mathura, India, which is the birth place of Krishna.
Artist statement:
I am an adventurer at heart; I yearn to see the world, to see everything life has to offer. Through my photography I hope to capture the human experience, and to share it. I hope to inspire others to see life as I do, through my lens.
With my photographs, I attempt to capture the delicate beauty of each fleeting moment, whether it’s exploring the everglades in Florida or participating in the spiritual Holi festival in India. I’ve learned so much through my journeys. Most importantly, that language is not a barrier for friendships, and that borders cannot contain human connection. These lessons and the incredible diversity of the world, from nature to culture, is exactly what I hope to express in my photography.
