Inspired by the subculture of the hand washed and sun dried laundry system of Calcutta.
The palette of color displayed in the majestic golden sunlight. Shirts and pants flapping in the winds along the roads, sarees spilling from balconies and windows of buildings, make shift lines on the banks of the rivers to dry the banquet cloths of the cities best hotels. All the towels and kid's dresses between electrical cords and the traffic mayhem. Cheers to the the dhobi wallah, or any of the men and women who toil morning to night in their traditional dress rolled up at roadside pumps, wells actually wherever there is water, clean or otherwise, sudsing it up, beating out that evil dirt for a few rupees a cloth.
