This photography project is a social experiment that aims at capturing how people of a particular lifestyle look at someone who has a different lifestyle. Clothes worn by an individual can directly reflect about his or her lifestyle. In this social experiment, the model is made to wear 'short' clothes and roam at places around Hyderabad, Telangana. The project aims at capturing various kinds of gazes a woman faces in the public due to this dichotomy.

Very often women have to face the lecherous male stare out in the public when they are dressed in short clothes. But interestingly, not only the men but other women, who may not approve of this dressing sense, also stare.The people of Hyderabad provided some interesting stares and gazes which are captured here in this project.  Nonetheless, this experiment provides an insight about the judgemental behaviour showcased by a mass when someone is just trying to be themselves, by merely choosing an attire of their choice.
