EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Anindito Mukherjee, the serene beauty of a sunset in New Delhi is juxtaposed with the daily struggles faced by young girls. Silhouetted against the setting sun, these resilient girls carry buckets filled with water as they walk along the banks of river Yamuna. The golden hues of the sky create a striking backdrop for their silhouette, symbolizing hope and resilience amidst adversity. As they make their way past a camel, we are reminded of India's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection to nature. The presence of the camel adds an element of intrigue to the scene, highlighting both tradition and modernity coexisting harmoniously. This image serves as a powerful representation of society's inequalities and challenges that many face on a daily basis. It reminds us that access to basic necessities like clean water can be burdensome for some while others take it for granted. Anindito Mukherjee's skillful composition captures not only an aesthetically pleasing moment but also evokes empathy within viewers. Through his lens, he brings attention to important social issues while showcasing India's natural beauty. This photograph stands as a testament to human strength and determination in overcoming obstacles even when silhouetted against life's most challenging moments.
