Mumbai-based artist and illustrator Indu Harikumar made headlines earlier this year with her new crowd-sourced project #Identitty, which she says was born after an innocuous online chat with an Instagram user. As part of the ongoing project, the artist turns photographs of women’s breasts into illustrations and shares them on Instagram along with the stories behind them. The woman spoke about what it meant to be top-heavy, and how men were fixated with her breasts. But ever since Harikumar announced #identitty, her Instagram is flooded with narrative stories around breasts. The artist feels that sharing stories helps erase stigma surrounding the way people view women’s breasts, make speculations and form opinions.
