Zoran Milisic, Home In Your Eyes (PEOPLE 2024)

This is a reflective voyage of self-discovery, using the medium of photography to bridge the gap between our outer world and inner selves. Captured amidst the majestic landscapes of Nepal, Tibet, and the Himalayas these images serve as a visual chronicle of a profound personal odyssey. Through life's myriad experiences, we inevitably come to recognise a universal thread that binds us together—an essence that transcends the superficial divisions of race, creed, nationality, and social status. In essence, it is a testament to the intrinsic unity of humankind, obscured by the illusion of separation. Each photograph reflects the author's own lifelong quest for meaning and understanding in the vast tapestry of existence—a search for the eternal and infinite essence from which we all originate. In an era marked by increasing dehumanisation, the portraits strive to reclaim the essence of our shared humanity—the essence that defines our authenticity, uniqueness, and inherent freedom. This essence, embodied in the human spirit, is both a testament to our innate nature and the culmination of our individual journeys. Through the evocative imagery of street portraits, breathtaking landscapes, and intimate glimpses into ordinary lives, the author invites viewers to engage in a silent dialogue—a profound exchange of energy and understanding that transcends words. It is a meeting of souls, where two cosmic travellers find solace and connection in the shared journey of existence. Amidst the silence, amidst the cosmic interplay of existence, lies a profound truth—the realisation of our true home within ourselves and a beacon of hope for a world in need, reminding us of our collective essence and the boundless potential for love, compassion, and understanding.
