This illustration is a combination of a photograph of Karthik and a quote from him in the accompanying article. The photograph shows a cheerfully grinning Karthik facing the camera, bespectacled, and dressed in a blue-grey patterned round-necked t-shirt. His left hand is placed on a table just next to him. Behind him is a blurred scene of an office workspace environment. The accompanying quote says: “It's difficult to interact online because knowing someone’s physical aspects is only limited to photographs. Very seldom do we find people with disabilities including full-body shots, including me. Disabled people do this because it becomes the centre of focus and a definitive factor, while you want to be known beyond your disability. People look at it and quickly start making assumptions about aspects of physical gratification, sexual desires and desexualise disabled people.” Photo courtesy Karthik
