EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the tender moment between a mother and her young son in the heart of Kashmir, India during the 1980s. The photograph, taken in 1986 by acclaimed British photographer Philip Dunn, depicts the mother wearing vibrant, traditional clothing as she cradles her son in her arms on a doorstep. The warm colors of their clothing and the simple, rustic setting contrast sharply with the harsh realities of life in Srinagar during that time. The image transports us back to the 1980s, a decade marked by political turmoil and social upheaval in Kashmir. Yet, amidst the chaos, this portrait offers a glimpse into the intimate and enduring bond between a mother and her child. The boy, with his curious gaze and innocent expression, seems to be lost in thought, as if contemplating the world around him. His mother's protective embrace provides him with a sense of safety and security, a reminder that love and compassion can flourish even in the most challenging of circumstances. Philip Dunn's masterful use of light and composition draws our attention to the intricacies of their connection, inviting us to reflect on the universal themes of motherhood, childhood, and the human spirit. This portrait is a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of the people of Kashmir, and the power of love to transcend the hardships of everyday life.
