The inspiration behind this artwork stemmed from the captivating beauty of Meghalaya, and the profound stories etched upon the face of its people. As I explored the rugged terrain and encountered the weathered yet resilient individuals who call this region home, I was struck by the depth of their characters. The wrinkles on the face of the man depicted in the photo spoke volumes about a life lived amidst the breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural tapestry of Meghalaya.
