About the piece: In life, we are often hurt by certain circumstances. Since childhood, we often come across situations that probably we cannot deal with but nevertheless have to absorb so that we can pass through it. Such moments cause us to get wounded from within.
While getting wounded might not be our fault but giving ourselves an opportunity to heal might pave way for a better future. We owe our inner child the clarity to be at peace. Leading a fast life full of schedules and deadlines, we tend to ignore our inner wounds so that we don't get distracted. It's an endless loop of trying hard to be happy.
This image portrays that even if we grow up with the unannounced complexities, our inner child helps us remember our innocence. Probably that's the reason why we tend to become so protective of ourselves as we keep on growing older.
This image, captured in Kushmandi district of North Dinajpur in West Bengal, shows a local tribe of Gomira folk dancers with their traditional masks and attires on, for offering prayers to their local power deities and in respect for their roots in cultural heritage. The true highlight of this form of dance is the beautiful masks that are etched out of neem wood and the three dimensional crowns that ornaments the head. It is performed with a particularly distinctive rhythm and dance happens with two performers, always personifying a man and his maternal grandfather, discussing a topic to raise social awareness.

"7 billion people, 14 billion faces" - is a common saying portraying the thought that every person wears a mask and there's a side of them that stays hidden to the world. While having many "faces" is frowned upon, I believe that we often wear masks as an act of sheathing ourselves from and in various situations.
With this collection, I would thus like to break the taboo that having multiple personalities can be “deceptive” to many; it is in-fact, a common adaptive behaviour amongst humans to stay relevant, fit in and to feel accepted in the society.
Through the rich, varied cultures and folk festivals of my motherland, Bengal, India, I present 12 evocative 1/1 photographs aimed at normalising us wearing “masks” to cope with the societal pressures.
These images showcase the rich cultural inheritance of Bengal and celebrate the “significant humans” hiding behind those masks.
Shot in the remote districts over the last 4-5 years, this is my most personal and emotional body of work!
