These postcards are a reflection of what I felt during the ruling in favor of Article 377, which criminalized “carnal intercourse against the order of nature”. This is an archaic, draconian law that has been wrongly considered part of the Indian culture, and essentially criminalizes gay sex. As a young gay person living in India at the time, it felt as though the country had turned its back on an oppressed part of their society. The five senses shown here, taste, smell, sound, sight and touch respectively, are depicting the very instantaneous emotions, and very spontaneous sensory experiences I can remember from that time.
