This is a portrait of an South Asian boy in front of pillar from ancient Indian architecture. Most of the Indian architectures are Hindu temple architecture and Indo-Islamic architecture which depict the story of Indian history and heritage. Although the mural on this pillar is aging away. The story remains as young as the boy.

This is Irfan Khan, a very renowned actor in India as well as in Hollywood. Recently he passed away at the peck of his carrier after fighting for two years with terminal illness. I wanted to feel his emotions as to how he must have felt during these two years of his life where he had to face a camera entertaining the audience and facing the truth at the same time.
