“With around 703 million people globally – almost one in ten – without access to clean water close to home, a forced daily migration occurs as mostly women and girls walk to collect clean drinking water. It is estimated that women and girls in developing countries
walk six kilometres a day for this purposes. This artwork was inspired by the many ordeals and responsibilities that women have to take upon their shoulders often at a very tender age. This is one of the primary reason why girls in the majority world drop out of school, often so that their brothers can get a fuller education.” - Poulomi Basu on Parallelism
