The Power in Their Silence. Indian Women.

India | Thursday, January 10, 2013 | 5 photos

I am concerned about the role of women in India. Of course, I could not see completely the situation during my time in the country, but I could feel the repression of women. I heard stories about them being sold, marring as kids to elder men and being burned alive. I have seen them carrying huge bags of food, looking after the kids, cooking, taking care of animals, shopping and smiling. All that immerse in a huge powerful silence.

I'm an Argentinean photographer who loves the world and to discover new places, but I'm particularly interested in human behaviour within a social context and in their relationship with the natural environment.
In 2008 I left my country and went traveling for 3 years, I met different cultures, and at the same time, I could feel habits and human needs that unified all the inhabitants of the world. With my photography I attempt to approach this intimate situations, to share them and make them understandable for others.
I want to have the opportunity to learn how to use this tool with National Geographic photographers, who not only photographed the different, but have the extraordinary ability and strength to feel visual delicacy, nearness and unity of the world's diversity.

One of my favourite sentences is: "A society is the stronger the more differences could fit without repressing. A man is more person the more 'other' has been recognized inside and outside himself. " - Nelly Schnaith. Las heridas de Narciso.
