Beauty through an inner eye







The world of art is filled with immense beauty that depicts the wonderful life that we see around us. Paintings, sculptures and photographs can create a perfect picture of beauty in our minds and touch our hearts to its very core. The pictures posted above are representations of such beauty that can capture our awe in many ways. Can you make a guess on who would be the creators of these wonderful pieces of art? These are the creations of people who have been visually challenged.
As humans we always rely on our senses in order to live a comfortable and successful life. Therefore, many of us believe that the lack of one of these senses, especially our eyesight could hamper the way we live life in. This is not the case! Confidence and dedication can work wonders for the visually challenged in the same way as it would work for a 'normal' person. The pictures above are a perfect proof of the normality of life, as we see it, that a visually challenged can experience too.
Antarchakshu exhibits the works of such down to earth and successful people that create a name for themselves inspite of their disability. Its a completely fun way to experience a different way of life. Antarchakshu explains the works of the visually challenged with the help of a exhibition that is well decorated by a number of students. The individuality of the works posted on this exhibition invoke a feeling of complete wonder and respect for their talent. Antarchakshu, therefore works towards dispelling the myth of sympathy or empathy that we might have for the visually challenged, giving them an equal pedestial to stand on. For the work it does, the name 'Antarchakshu' is aptly given, helping us appreciate things with an inner eye rather than a superficial view.
This is a wonderful sight that will you a broader picture of the capabilities and talents of the visually challenged.
