SAAH presents a series of evocative encounters with the natural world to explore its extraordinary effects on our emotional and physical health. Unfolding through a full spectrum of colour, the photographs reveal an intimate version of nature, sublime in its hues, extravagantly textured and impossibly mysterious, inviting us to experience them with our body and mind.

Born from the experience of overcoming a difficult diagnosis, Singh’s work becomes a space of restoration, a way of looking that demands attention, gathers feeling and slows the body. Each photograph invites us to pause and silence the chaos of modern life, through breathing and stillness. Natural elements and landscapes, obvious and elusive, become a source of focus and an invitation for the viewer to consider and reflect on their own somatic and emotional landscape.

SAAH is informed by the idea that our relationship with the natural world is not simply observational: we are physically implicated in it. Modern life can create a barrier between us and nature, sometimes physical, other times psychological. Singh’s work sits within a lineage of artists who approach image-making not simply as representation, but as a psychological site and a process transformation.

Saah, the Punjabi word for ‘breath’, is an embodied word that cannot be pronounced without exhaling. Understanding photography as a meditative and embodied act, Singh breathes into her lens, creating an exchange with the image. Through attention, stillness and breathing, SAAH attempts to create an opportunity to reconnect with nature and with ourselves.
