From the Clean Clothes booklet within the Booklet of Banned Objects box set. The photograph depicts the artist in the act of draping and tucking a white veshti at the waist. Clean clothes, were once forbidden to Dalit communities as a marker of dignity and social standing, is here worn with deliberate composure. The image reclaims the garment as an act of bodily autonomy, turning the mundane gesture of dressing into a quiet assertion of presence.
