M P Pratheesh: TRAIL OF SILENCE

A white snail shell lies on the brown soil in the centre of the image. From the shell emerges a red spiral of thread which circles outwards till it meets an edge of fallen leaves that surround the circle of exposed earth. There is dappled sunlight covering the dried brown leaves that extends to the edges of the frame.
