My artistic practice is an eclectic fusion of painting, stencilling, design, and assemblage. Central to my work is the appropriation and reinterpretation of imagery drawn from a wide array of visual culture, reinterpreted through a personal and visual rhetoric. Driven by a profound concern for ecological issues and the human disregard for nature’s fragility, my latest installation is inspired by my father, M. Rajendra Prasad’s poignant poem, "Bhumini Kaapadukondham" (Let Us Save the Earth). As both an artist and poet, my father shares similar concerns about environmental degradation. His work reflects on the ideas of renowned Telugu poet Dasharathi, emphasizing that human life, a result of countless cosmic transformations, is uniquely precious to Earth. Despite this, human greed continues to ravage our planet through landfills, pollution, and a relentless quest for extraterrestrial conquest. In this installation, I present a conceptual assemblage inspired by the poem. The piece features books stacked in a row, gradually transitioning to burnt volumes, symbolizing the depletion of natural resources like trees for paper. Adjacent to this are toys of animals and birds mounted on boards, serving as a reminder of their vulnerable status in today's world. The installation further emphasizes ecological crisis through the inclusion of burnt coir animals and the horns of a deceased deer. A striking collage made from cutouts of plastic shopping bags, an emblem of daily pollution, anchors the whole composition, underscoring the environmental impact of such ubiquitous waste. Symbolically, a globe wrapped in leather but drilled with nails represents insatiable human greed for consumption and lack of empathy for its own kind. This installation is a reflection on the interconnectedness of human actions and the natural world, urging a reconsideration of our relationship with the Earth./p>
