Beyond the boxes
I have seen these people come to this new country with their legacy, made a small home town in this 1000 sft apartment. They try to keep their culture, food, traditions and language alive. In those boxes of their own they live how they used to back in their home country. For example, in one of those boxes lives a Bengali and that person creates a little Bangladesh in side his/her apartment.
To me these small boxes are individuals who represent a country, with their curtain colour, texture and even the colour of light.

entry description
This is a photo of a highly populated residential building in Toronto, Canada. Migrant people from all over the world live there. Canada is a one of the biggest countries who depends on migrant people. Some people prefer to move there as the lifestyle is better and compared to their home country.I have seen these people come to this new country with their legacy, made a small home town in this 1000 sft apartment.
