EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Selfie with human skull" photographer Abhraneel Chakraborty captures a thought-provoking juxtaposition between the innocence of a child and the macabre symbol of mortality. The image showcases a young person, their face partially obscured by the screen of a smartphone, as they take an unconventional selfie alongside a human skull. The composition raises questions about our relationship with technology and its impact on our perception of life and death. As we witness this child engaging with modern technology while being surrounded by ancient relics, we are reminded of the timeless fascination humans have had with mortality throughout history. Chakraborty's use of light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing the contrast between youthfulness and decay. The soft illumination on the child's face highlights their curiosity and innocence in stark contrast to the somber darkness surrounding them. Furthermore, there is an intriguing cultural element present in this image as well. The mention of "gajan" suggests that it may be taken during or related to a traditional Bengali festival where devotees often engage in rituals involving skulls as symbols representing both death and rebirth. Overall, Chakraborty's "Selfie with human skull" challenges us to reflect upon our own mortality while questioning how modern society reconciles age-old traditions with contemporary technological advancements.
