THE FEMALES
നന്ദ അനൂപ്
Photographer, Art director - Nanda Anoop

Two women, called by the men as the two females, working, showing the women around them that they too can earn their bread without bending their heads in front of a man. The "females" endure pain in the form of words sharp as knife, lashes from the thick leather belt wound around the man's waist. Still they hold each other's hand caressing it, comforting one another to smile, even if it's for one click of the shutter speed, laugh so the pain is stored away in some dark corner for the twenty seconds after the click.
