She had forgotten her body and this world; and the world had forgotten her but one-day she came to live her life. A body is beautiful but it is not a thing of beauty; and to be human is to understands and transcend. As there is no genitalia shown, this physical body I drew could represent a young woman, a bar-dancer, a trans-sexual gender person, etc. I wanted to acknowledge a woman's potential for the gift of life so this could be a female body. In the same breath also put the focus about her mind. Hence, I wanted to use cut-outs that look like light beaming out of the head. Accepting her body and her mind, together as one, that makes her who she is. Its beautiful when we awaken, put ourself together and rise up. Its inspiring to see that.
The saddest moments are when we condemn and accept labelling ourselves, that we are of "damaged mind" or "unclean bodied". This campaign is both about our physical bodies and our mind, because practically both shape our physical world as it is. Anger, love and hurt is represented by the colour red where as wisdom, experience is represented by indigo. Hopefully, one-day when I get some clarity (and wisdom), I will be able to add indigo in the Valour campaign. I believe its the mind, your dreams that make you a person but, as the world it is today, in India's circles that I have seen, at least, the body is equal to the mind if not more. A rape take place every 20 minutes in India but only 10% of all rapes get reported and 24% of that 10% of these cases see convictions. From bullying and torturing to other heinous crimes, this discrimination between the sexes is our ground reality and until this changes in societies, my opinion can't change about gender difference in the biological sense of the word.
