The swan, in Celtic and Hindu spiritualism signifies the journey of the soul or the eternal soul itself. The incident of swashbuckling photographer Kevin Carter’s last moment in his red Nissan truck and his suicide note are used as metaphors in this series. The last line of his note said: ".... I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."
The conceptual story is about the journey of a soul, not just Kevin’s. I have used my Nissan car’s photo, a self portrait, my friend Swagata's photo and other pictures shot by me in the series.
