Bharat Patel: Recurring Dreams of Oxford

Through this collection, Bharat explores the way visitors and even residents might experience
Oxford in their dreams—where time and place blur into a disorienting yet familiar tapestry. Blending iconic locations with shifting moments in time, these images weave together stone buildings, flowing waterways, and the secrets they may hold. The people of Oxford—town, gown, and visitors alike—are transported into surreal landscapes.
Each image, captured over several years, is masterfully blended to create condensed visual narratives, echoing the essence of recurring dreams of Oxford.
I believe a photograph is only truly complete when it is printed. A printed image lends a sense of importance and permanence to its subject. Bharat Patel
