This boy in Tordi Gat shows nothing but pure innocence and happiness - looking directly at the lens , greeting with his right hand I aimed to capture both the joy of this boy from his expression and also the intimacy of a boy and his mother - who symbolically is right behind him ,"colour's his background" and brings him to the foreground and almost exit the image.

Making everyday chores seem like a peaceful meditation I wanted to capture the sheer joy and colour each woman in Tordi Gat emanated. I aimed in capturing the sense of harmonious sisterhood amongst these women and also bring forth their sense of individualism - from their contrasting garments. I was inspired by how they smile , both young and old - hand in hand- they seem to have the ingredients to a fulfilling life in those vases.
