#1 "Until Done!" From The Series "Silent Colors" By Mona Singh

India

"Who doesn't like colors? Well, we all do... but these women are considered cursed and have lost the joy and privilege of having colors in their lives. These are the widows of Vrindavan, the abandoned and forgotten souls in one of the holiest cities of India. Thousands of them have made this city their home and the place is known as 'The city of widows'. Simple joys keep them going until they take their last breath."

"Portraits of the WIKOM Korsze crew that cruises the neighborhood with garbage trucks and cleans up the Korsze municipality in Poland. Ever since I was a little boy, I have had great respect for the people who do this work. I want to show the face of this profession, often underestimated, and many take it for granted. I want to give due respect to those who do this hard and much-needed work. From an ongoing work 'INSIDE THE GARBAGE TRUCK' about the people cleaning our cities."
