This project is not just about a river. It is about the human condition how we hold on, how we worship, how we forget, and sometimes, how we begin to remember again. The Yamuna showed me that documenting decay is also a way to document hope. And somewhere in the process, it helped me rediscover my own capacity to feel, to witness without turning away, and to care more deeply both as a photographer, and as a human being.
