Alta



Alta or the red colored dye painted on a woman's feet on the day of her marriage is a symbol of beauty and tradition.
Is my 'working' marriage only a tradition?
Where are my boundaries and what are my lines?
Will I ever be able to cross them?

  1. This video tries to express how a woman gets trapped by the very tradition that secures her.

  2. Great metaphorical reference. The continuation of lines on both surfaces makes for an interesting image.

  5. I loved it. Brilliant metaphor. The alta around the foot as a restriction, the line on the floor, the rice on the floor as many other people and responsibilities in ones life. Excellent!
