Devnagiri Roar

In the Maasai Mara, a lone cloud stretched like a shirorekhā (a feature of the Devnagiri script) above resting lions. We waited as the male lingered beneath it. Then he rose, aligning perfectly and yawned. Devanagari Roar became a meeting of language and wilderness in a single fleeting moment.

About Artist

Preeti & Prashant Chacko

We are Dubai based photo artists with a specific interest in showcasing animals in the wild, in black and white. We believe that wild animals are beautiful, sentient beings brimming with stature, grace, sensitivity and strength. We portray these in our work. After years of photography, we have understood that the photos that we truly love were the ones that conveyed beauty and emotion, artistically. We genuinely believe that people will try and protect things that they find beautiful. When it comes to wild animals, our own personal experience has taught us that a majority of people have grave misconceptions about wildlife and are also unaware of the severe threat that they face from man. The primary belief about wild animals is that they are dangerous and are just waiting to attack humans. This is a trope that we are careful not to feed by showing scenes of violence, aggression or gore. Instead we try to capture beauty, sensitivity and human-like emotion with our work.
