Beyond the lines of mehndi lies a story of identity, innocence, and inclusion
About the Picture
This photograph reflects the essence of individuality and shared humanity. The child’s mehndi-marked hand symbolizes identity and cultural beauty, while the shallow focus encourages viewers to look beyond what’s visible and discover deeper connections. Through his lens, Vijay captures not just moments, but emotions — reminding us that inclusion begins with seeing differently.
