The word “ Maanavatvam“ is derived from the Indian language of Telugu and translates as “ Humanity “. This body of work dives into the true essence of what Maanavatvam stands for: beings capable of inclusive emotional intelligence. It celebrates the diversity we encounter and our understanding and acceptance of the many differences in appearances, behaviors and traits that make all people human. Maanavatvam is a bold testament to the true strength of being human in all forms and shapes.
