Summary
To me, India is encompassing all. Describing India is just as one would describe a wondrous journey. Hence to me it is the journey of life, like the lifeline on my hand that niches on the palm with every passing year, representing the Past, Present and Future. Red is the colour of a diverse multitude of feelings - Love, honour, prosperity, power, victory, fertility, sacred and bravery. The Red Dot is considered sacred in an Indian woman’s life and has various connotations. The dot to me depicts both the beginning and the end. Completing the circle of creation.
VISUAL EXTENSION
AN OUNCE OF HOPE
Captioned ‘Nothing humane in Humanity’, the poster draws attention to the dispirited feeling amongst the masses that there is only an ounce of hope left; hence an immediate need to focus greater attention on necessity for holistic measures for security and safety of women in India. Cases of assault and physical abuse on women have become so pronounced in recent times and their ill effects so damaging to society at large that these need blunt assentation.
