Claustrophobia
Support this photographer - share this work on Facebook.
Claustrophobia means, extreme or irrational fear of confined places.
Kolkata - the eastern Indian metro, where I was born and brought up. This is the place where I did my every first thing. My education, job, vagabondism drag me into the different alleys of this city. It used to give me a lot of unexpected positive surprises now and then. I had an infatuation for this city which dragged me to every corner. Don’t know why but I started fearing this city for the last few years. I do not like to walk on those city streets and alleys anymore. I believe Metro life becomes too much unstable. It does not give me the sudden pleasing surprises. It suffocates me. Trees, animals, birds are also got arrested in that suffocation. The feeling of confinement of this city life made me to do this work.
