The Perfect Girl.

The idea of this concept is of juxtaposing two pictures – of what is, and what might be. The themes of all the portraits are both timeless and disturbing. The subjects are a study in contrast. They may be riveting in their shackles, but the wind beneath their wings is rising. In the left photograph, the woman is wearing a saree, with sandalwood garland. It is the representation of how society wants her to behave when she is old enough to stop living. On the other side, it's the representation of the 'never-dying dreams of a woman' and her willingness of living her life in her way. It's about breaking the pattern of behaviour which the society is expecting from a woman.
