Vidura Jang Bahadur - Teresa Tan and Li Yang Liang - Chennai, 2006

The picture belongs to a work on the Chinese community in India started in 2006 and calls "Home".

Vidura takes us into the world of sisterhood and “parlour“-hood  inhabited by two sisters in law.

The timelessness of this moment is enclosed in this home cum-beauty parlour where the simple act of washing a woman’s hair encapsulates their shared comfort.

 The mise en scène comprising of the single source of light, the central whirring fan and the simple décor is visualized in this panoramic shot, almost like a still frame from a film reel.
