The duality of Monday is, for some, the beginning of the unbearable reality of responsibilities that invariably hits every week. For others, it is a fresh and uplifting bright start of another week full of possibilities. The photos of this documental series illustrate some of those feelings through the metaphor of showering away feer, uncertainty and frustration from the day. Taking risks, social pressure, making decisions about career and family life are some of the human conflicts explored and presented to the viewer for self-evaluation. Our reality, more than chosen, sometimes seems to have been silently selected for us by the society with the promise of happiness. Sometimes we make ourselves too busy to stop and think about our daily routine. If we are not completely satisfied, would we dear to change the direction of our life to pursue our dreams instead of just washing them away?
