Rizwan Mirza Britain
Musafir (Traveller)
Retracing his lines an old man questions the prophecies of a palmist.
Heading to an unknown destination, an old man looks out of the window of a moving train and retraces the deep lines mapped out on his weathered hands. He recalls fragmented memories, reminiscing and reflecting on the longer journey he has made from his childhood to the present.
