TERRESTRIAL is a collection of my photographs, focusing on Sri Lanka, and a few other countries. From a tiny dipteran to an enormous waterfall, beauty exists everywhere, but sometimes we are too preoccupied to observe it or to experience it. Photographs of these natural wonders are not mere captures of memories, they are a constant reminder that eco-systems around us, not just terrestrial, but marine, aerial or arboreal, would survive without any human intervention... in fact, thrive much better without it... In this exhausting journey of our human lives, to brace ourselves and to embrace all beings... because it's their Earth too.
