During a tour of the Red Fort in New Delhi, the hundreds of birds perched atop this dome suddenly scattered. Symbolically I felt this picture reflected the mass overpopulation that is occurring in India, and the way it affects the environment and every living being. In the sky, the smog of the city is apparent, and while it adds to the beauty of the picture, it is also disconcerting – when I returned home each day, I was amazed at how much dirt and dust accumulated on my body by simply walking outside.
