Sri Lankan Women

Sri Lankan women are by far the most beautiful women I've ever seen. They adorn themselves in rich colours and their ears and necklines are always decorated with ornate gold. They have the most soulful eyes and contagious smiles, it's like they open their hearts to you when they smile. Their eyes speaks volumes, secrets that their lips hold captive. I want to take a picture of every women I see: clad in sarees, shalwar kamez, pant shirts, and skirts. Some with their feet bare, others comfortable in their flip-flops, and others sporting fancy high heels or dress shoes. Representing different walks of life but unified in their common roles as mothers, sisters, wives, workers, supporters, chearleaders; these women are the real front-line warriors every family's struggle. They fight without complaint; they make the impossible possible without acknowledgement. Here's to you, women of the world. Thank you for giving our lives colour and beauty.
