[ Hyderabad, INDIA ] The National Lockdown in my country was an unexpected and something new to us, with nowhere to go, rooftops have become the new found places during the pandemic. I shot this picture from my rooftop of a family get-together during the lockdown. I have been living in an apartment which is on the fifth Floor and above is a rooftop but I rarely go there. But with limited movement during the pandemic, I have a chance to go out to take a breather. Every time I walk to my rooftop, I feel like entering into a different world, I see people coming out of their homes to spend their time; the rooftops seem to appear like the streets in the sky. With the world struggling to fight the pandemic and to live with it, I hope that my images of rooftop will give strength, solace and hope in these difficult times. Rooftop is not only about the daily life of people and materials that structure home and a sense of place, but also the enduring human and personal experiences during the most vulnerable times.
