Congratulations to Sridhar Balasubramaniyam @irdhasri Winner of the 2026 CPW Saltzman Prize with the project Manarsuzhal.
Manarsuzhal (literally translating to “sand whirl”) is a work that was born out of years of wandering across Tamil Nadu. It is a journey through the intricate landscapes of the state; a journey where the movement of time, nature, and people constantly reshaped my idea of home. Emerging from unplanned moments, Manarsuzhal unfolds as a meditation on impermanence, belonging, and the quiet endurance of the land. Each image carries within it the traces of a journey, like sand blowing across the landscape.(...)
