A Thousand Cuts

by Sujata Setia

Derived from the ancient Asian form of torture – “Lingchi”, “A Thousand Cuts” is a photographic study of patterns of domestic abuse in the South Asian community.

Each portrait features physical cuts, reflecting past trauma and the process of reclaiming power. The close, tightly cropped images evoke a sense of suffocation, mirroring the lack of freedom in abusive environments. The patterns that emerge on the portraits symbolize both submission and resistance, forming an internal dialogue for the survivor and a conversation with the viewer.
