My mind ponders about the reason for making these photographs. The revelation is i cannot give or nurture a life here. In the whole of universe, there are only two elements that produce life, earth and women.
The series captures womanhood in all ages, backgrounds, and forms, rendering their candid smiles, permanent and bright, in black and white portraits. “Everyone has significant women in their lives mother, wife, lover and I always wanted to do a series on women. When I read a poem by famous tamil writer Vannadasan, which, when simplified, meant that women are the symbol of ‘Suyambu’, meaning independent, and have the power to create the whole world,”
During my travels across Tamil Nadu, i met several women whom i approached to be clicked. Every time i asked them ‘to smile with your teeth’, their shy laughter is what i chose to freeze forever. “They would laugh from their heart, and many old women told me they have never been photographed or laughed this hard before!”
