Antique shop, Chor Bazaar, Mumbai, India, 2008

Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, was the last stop on our three week visit to India. Its Thieves Market, known as the Chor Bazaar, is overflowing with crowded, dusty antique and bric-a-brac shops. The worn figure, its paint fading and peeling, represents the storybook Bombay of Kipling and the Raj. It, too, has faded slowly away, replaced by an overwhelmingly commercial environment, which I represent with the advertising signage behind the figure.
