Artist Statement: Mital Patel
Some artists create with their hands, but what I create comes from a deeper form of seeing. I see
what is there and what is not: the whispers of energy on an African plain, the unuttered breath of
wind across a desert, the howl of breaking ice as it succumbs to the mercies of daylight. I see
beauty in the unrefined, in the wild and savage places, in the untouched corners of the world
where nature dictates. This is what motivates and inspires me.
What I capture is more than what can be seen through the lens of my camera, and I strive each
time I feel the heft of it in my hands to share the absolute, indescribable beauty of the planet with
my audience. Mine is a mission to inspire others to look beyond what they see with their eyes
and look, instead, with their souls at the world around them. There is something much larger than
us at work—we need only be willing to see it, to feel it, and to let it change us. Take a journey
with me, through the lens and let your eyes be open.
