1) REVISITING: Spring (Vasantha)
The first season, Spring, is about the act of revisiting. I called it an antidote to abandonment. I have an estranged relationship with my works, wherein I don’t come back to them once they are finished, and I can’t even look at them at times. I can’t sit with them or talk to them either, but there is always a sense of celebration and joy whenever I do see them because each one is a living entity in itself.
Here, in a cathartic moment, we get to a place where everything is overwhelming and it all seems to sink into the ground; our protagonist sits with this heaviness. In my paintings, there are spiral patterns symbolic of time, and in this one, the stag symbolises moving on to the next season.
2) HIBERNATION: Summer (Grishma)
