The animals displayed come from the cultural environment of the artist. But that leaves open the question why the pictures with the Indian workers are published in the first place... @Just:

Designers from different country bring in a new perspective of looking at their traditional craft. Well i really dont about the concept used here, but my concern is ....how long will this kind of marketing for the skills of these women will sustain itself ? Is it only a one time affair?

I do not really get the link between Swedish tales and Indian skills... I find it rather strange to make a project to help Indian women without featuring any cultural consideration for them. The animal thing sounds really random and seems to be poping up from nowhere. I find it a pity as I usually like Hella's work. Don’t they have animals in India ?
