Sri is a Sanskrit word meaning beauty or majesty, still used in many South Asian languages as an honorific term denoting respect. Nick Sethi's latest publication contains 288 photographs taken over three days in 2022, when he and his mother visited Vrindavan, an ancient city and pilgrimage site rooted in Indian mythology. Presented chronologically, the photographs investigate physical manifestations of respect and value through ritual, decoration, utility, touch and connection to nature and to one another, all common themes in his work. It accompanies a show at Dashwood Projects on East 4th Street in New York's East Village.
