In the last years, the Indian government has officially started to acknowledge the service of Ladakhi porters, who originate by and large, from underprivileged families. The image consists of empty frames by a windowsill and was photographed in Phukpochey, a remote village in Ladakh and the hometown of the Ladakhi porter, Stanzin Padma.The void in the frames alludes to a response by Stanzin, towards the certificates of bravery he has received from the government, for his service on the Siachen Glacier.
