Asha's eyes shot open. She had slept in again. Her inner time clock hadn't succumbed to the rhythms of siesta culture. She quickly tied up her hair with a rubber band, zipped up her dress, and grabbed her big leather bag. She ran down the stone steps of the old city nestled in the foreground of an azure colored sea. The cool white of her dress shielded her from the hot Mediterranean sun, and the sun licked the black-bordered edges of the fabric in response. A camera in the distance clicked and captured the scene in black and white.

Her white dress was made from a 100% cotton sari hand-woven in a textile cooperative based in Orissa, India trimmed with an ancient temple motif in a black. 100% cotton lining. Made in India. Designed in Brooklyn.
