Venkatesh Kittur, When you remove colour from life (ANIMAL & NATURE 2022)

Somewhere I read that Zoochosis is a form of mental illness that develops in animals held captive in zoos. Their eyes appear glazed, and their expressions are void of tranquillity and contentment. I photographed these pictures in an attempt to capture the state of mind of these animals held in captivity. If only we could try and understand what they are thinking and feeling.
