“In the wake of modernization the natural elements have become mere spectators to an ever increasing domain of the urban infrastructure. With each natural terrain being trespassed and changed according to the convenience of the mankind, the concern for the myriad elements belonging to the ecosystem has become necessary.
The bull remains a strong form and a personal symbol of ‘nature’ to me. My childhood days that were spent in its close companionship, have left an indelible mark on my soul. And so naturally and instinctively the bull has become my protagonist, the central figure, the basic core around which I weave my expressions.
While human beings were supposed to be a part of the ecology, the strength of knowledge and power has excelled in making them the strongest, amongst all flora and fauna. My deep concern about the same gets exemplified through my works. The many anecdotes that I create in my works ask questions such as, If this is the present situation are we prepared for tomorrow? If we can encroach upon the territory of other beings can they do that with us? Can we survive in seclusion by just concentrating on meeting our materialistic needs? Is this progress or a step backward?
Let us pray for tomorrow, pray for the future of our descendants and their holistic prosperity.”
