Valérie Kagy’s project Both sides contrasts two areas of Chennai: Marina Beach and the artistic district of Nochikuppam. The series presents the serenity and social life of Marina Beach alongside the realities faced by fishing communities relocated after the 2004 tsunami and 2015 floods. Murals and urban redevelopment projects stand in contrast to overcrowded housing and families still waiting for relocation. Kagy, a contributor to Edge of Humanity Magazine, documents these parallel environments, highlighting the visible beauty and the underlying social conditions shaping daily life in Chennai.
