Concept Note A comment on domestic abuse and how abusive nature of a man arises and grows. What does it amount to and how people react to its darkness.
The narrative is a mix of personal observations and experiences. I tried my best to be critical in thought and avoid a cathartic release, to bring more depth and build a thought provoking impact through text and images. There were more aspects that i wanted to cover which were more nuanced but to fit the storyline, i kept them at bay. A parallel comment on the woman’s perspective /reaction was also there which i removed because it opened up more thoughts which required seperate section leading to a another narrative and sidelined the story.
WHAT IS A MAN ?
A Man is only taught to earn money
A Man buys
with money
for the world
at home
Man’s ego, only..
..respects three woman.
A Man buys a toy

A celebration every evening.
A Man sings..
..and dances to the beats of patriarchy
A Man allows a woman to be free.
A Man fears the taste of his own medicine
In denial!
Men fear calling out the Cynic-King Naked
An entitled Man only apologizes to gain back control
When a Man commits crime, woman goes to trial
Its time to kill
But courage takes birth
A man Spreads wildfire
but an ego will be killed
A MAN CAN NEVER CHANGE
He repeats
But No More!
FUCK YOU
Butterfly effect is in action
D K A
A Man, a failed human.
Screeches in his fort alone.
