"In 2011, I walked to the source of the Ganga in the Himalaya to collect water for my grandfather, a Hindu priest, who was on his deathbed. I hoped it could give him some connection with a place of which he had spoken, but was never able to visit.
By the time I got back, he had lost his memory, and could no longer recognise his grandson." (Nishtan SHUKLA)
"'Seeking Moksha' is a personal journey by the artist, entangled with the search for transcendence of people he encountered on a pilgrimage to collect water for his grandfather.
Nishant SHUKLA walked the mountains near the source of the Ganga from 2011-2016, looking for people who seemed lost in their search." (publisher's note)
