Rummana Naqvi Britain
Bulbul
The sounds and images are ordinary and everyday, yet, extraordinary.
Capturing the beauty of the everyday, Bulbul explores themes of longing and belonging, transporting the viewer from the ordinary to the extraordinary through the juxtaposition of sounds and images. In a blink, our imagination is left to make assumptions between what we see and what we hear, thereby conveying what is lost in translation and also what is simply untranslatable.
