I met Ritu in 2015, and from the start, our bond felt timeless marked by laughter, honesty, and a deep sense of trust. By 2021, I began documenting her life through photographs, not as a distant observer but as a friend invited into her most intimate spaces her home, her family, her marriage. Most recently, I have witnessed her tender transition into motherhood. Watching her hold her child is like watching winter give way to spring softness intertwined with fierce strength, resilience flowering into renewal.

Ritu’s journey mirrors the passing of seasons: the cruel winter of the attack, the uncertain rains of recovery, the bright summers of advocacy and recognition, and now the tender spring of motherhood. Each season reveals her extraordinary capacity for transformation.
