• Story of the image

  Birth and death, the two most intertwined truths of life, are different facets of the same reality. In this candid street photograph from Kolkata, a real pigeon symbolizes life, while its shadow hints at death. The metal bar between them serves as a visual metaphor—the thin veil separating existence from the afterlife. Captured as a woman fed pigeons by a white wall, this fleeting moment reflects the eternal cycle of life.
