This exhibition is the result of a seven-year collaboration between Amanda and Anand.
Across 23 encounters with the camera as our witness, they captured 13,372 moments of stillness, laughter, sorrow, and transformation. Both observers and observed, they mirrored each other. The locations, the lens, the silence between clicks — all became portals. Each image is marked with its exact birth: day, month, year, hour, minute, second.
A way of saying: Here it happened. Then we lived. And now it still lives within the image.
𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵
What if death was not the end, but a beginning?
What if darkness was not the enemy, but a teacher?
What if every moment of pain was an initiation into life?
I am not dying.
I am returning to life.
Again and again.
𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆
I have known hunger, and a war with my own body.
Addictions I once relied on.
Nights thick with panic.
Hands that hurt instead of held.
Homes that were never home.
And later, the word that freezes breath: cancer. Stage 4. Terminal.
But alongside the hardship, I’ve spent years choosing life.
Meditating, practicing yoga, teaching, traveling the world,
creating my own work and meeting my fears with love.
𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘆
The exhibition is not just a gallery.
It’s a space where photography meets poetry, playback theatre,
the healing power of silence, and the warmth of human sharing.
It is an invitation to step closer to the shadows.
Not to disappear into them,
but to see the light they quietly carry.
It is a meeting place for anyone who has faced loss, fear, illness, or despair,
and who has kept choosing love over fear.
Kept choosing life, even when it hurt.
𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲
And because life is too precious not to celebrate, on Friday night, after the exhibition, the space transforms into a dance floor.
We’ll move, laugh, and gather as friends for Amanda’s birthday,
and for the wild, wondrous joy of being alive.
Here. Now. And always.

This exhibition lives in the space between what is fleeting and what is eternal.
It is their offering — a raw, beautiful, and honest witness of what it means to be alive, even while facing death.
A story not just of survival, but of presence.
Of return.
Of rebirth.
