Watch with Wonder, a book by Palani Mohan – in pictures
‘My hope is that the viewer will pause, slow down and take notice. Pay attention to the small, magical things that are happening within each one of the images on these pages and find your own place within them. There we can meet in silence – be still, and watch with wonder.’ – Palani Mohan, palanimohan.com.
The book Watch with Wonder is published by Hong Kong University Press and the images are on display at the Blue Lotus gallery in Hong Kong until 10 December
