DAZED AND CONFUSED : OCTOBER 2018
Revolving around the desire of our present generation to be oneself without any restriction and hidrance, this is in terms of being feminine in nature it can be for men and women regardless. inspiration from the Expressionism art movement has been taken which focuses on the idea of expressing onself regardless of all the troubles they face, this movement came about immediately after impressionism. The reason this art movement was taken because men being feminine at the present day and age and women being rebelious in the way they carry themselves is criticised. The issue is a call for awareness as it’s considered to be a rebel to not confide to the norms of the society. This issue has also taken inspiration from Vivian Maier’s photography skills, her work is completely based of black and white, she has played around with light and shadow to accomplish the unseen mystery in her photographs. Her photographs has help us to achieve the absurd environment and effect that that was required to create the series. India needs to look beyond the obvious and has to start accepting the uncalled and so called shameful act of lust and sex - our undue desires. We live in a country which made the kamasutra -the first book for se positions, this just justifies that India knows what lust is but has gotten rusted with the norms of the society.

TENDER TOUCH - A SLOW REALISATION Loving oneself is one of the most difficult tasks in the world. We always look for acceptance from everyone else and forget to enjoy our own existence. To acquire social stability we forget to love ourselves.Tender
touch a project which tries to break all of these shackles of constraints. Sexuality and desire are two such topics that everyone tends to avoid in general whereas, this is something that shouldn’t be ignored
as is one of the main factors that keeps a persons psyche stable or at least helps a person toaccept their existence.

Pause, adore and run again. With subtlety and patience bring about the unsaid reality of one’s existence. We should slow down and rest for a while to enjoy the blissful existence of the world and ourselves. Love and desire are two sides of the same coin,we need to come to a consensus with ourselves.These are strong emotions which are typically strong as well as positive in nature.Both love and lust occur in the idea of partnership and most commonly they both highly drive on potency in an individual. The 21st century kids are lost, they want everything in life but are scared to accept their themselves becasue of the the orthodox society and its norms. Even if we try to accept our existence however, the society seems to demean us. But we need to break those taboos and move forward and learn to love and adore ourselves. This issue will take the reader to a land of an imaginary state where people have accepted themselves regardless of the taboos of the society, talks about gender fluidity and hetrodoxy nature of the youth.
