Swallow I (2025)
This series explores the destructive nature of greed and gluttony, questioning the consequences of unchecked desire and the primal urges that drive us, particularly in our relationship with food and the natural world as seen through the lens of the human-fish dynamic.

Dreamtime/Storytelling (2024)
Acute (2024)
Acute can mean many different things. It can be a shortage of a resource, about a disease. The head of the pig signifies disease. The feeling is acute and unsettling. The head is attached to the torso like a balloon… Hopefully, the acuteness of the disease is temporary.
Belle (2024)
The story revolves around a young, vulnerable girl who is lost on a gigantic chessboard. She grapples with her own identity and seeks to understand what beauty means to her. Is beauty merely the fixed, stereotypical perception of being pretty, or can being perceived as ugly also be beautiful? In the initial panels of my storyboard, the character feels like a lost dog, constantly judged by other pawns. She struggles to find her place on the chessboard. The pawns represent her relativ

Falling (2024)
So how we fall is what defines our life. It is as if we are spiraling towards death. This makes one's head feel dizzy. The hands try to control the feet. There is a blurred vision of our feet. It almost puts us in a trance when we think about death.
The loop (2024)
Time travels in a loop, and thesounds are the vibrations that torture the loop in this chaos. Vibrations are the shrill sound, hustle-bustle of the city life
Mother I (2024)
I wanted to paint my mother using different mediums. This is using acrylic paint. The figure stands patiently while the shadow is restless. The shadow is representative of my mother's mind before I go to college.
Help (2024)
The woman is seeking help in a house where she is all by herself stuck in the bucket. On the wall, Tasukete/Help is written in red, but no one comes to her rescue. She cries in the bucket and thinks, where did she go wrong
Loss of Innocence (2023)
This is a work I completed last month. The adult, with battle-worn fingers, holds the younger self and contemplates how bit by little bit freshness and innocence is fading away.
Freethinker (2021)
I think I have tried to capture a productive tension through this winged creature. As an ancient bird, it tries to free itself from human pride in knowledge gathering. And yet, it waits and defers the decision to fly. Can a thinking person ever fly? Conversely, is creating freely ever possible without thinking?
Traveler Alone (2023)
Do we know our place in society? An empty, perplexed head tries to communicate with the hustle-bustle and the chaos of urban life. It pretends to be at ease by consuming a cup of coffee. But it wishes to remain ignorant of its surroundings. Does it know that the city produces other gormless heads that follow it?
Outpouring (2023)
A centipede crossing a railway track. From my childhood days, I have developed a keen interest in insects, rodents, birds, butterflies, and such like creatures that people our world. Perhaps the centipede is listening to the approaching train. And I am following the centipede’s movement.
Trapped (2023) part 2
Every story has suspense in it and this story has its twists and turns. We see a mouse held captive by snakes, its predators. One can think that the mouse is trapped and there is no way out. But one does not know the next move that the mouse plans to take. The mouse is very fast compared to those lousy snakes. It can outsmart them by jumping out and running away from those snakes. Because, for survival even a deer sometimes outsmarts a lion.
This is not I (2023)
This is another painting that grapples with the question the identity. Are we not many within one body and mind? A part of me is insecure, another part imaginative, and yet another part hopeful and adventurous. The figure in the middle is the puppeteer who balances all selves. The reason I chose those two background colors is to show the warm and cool nature of our minds. Those two are categorized to show the moods of our minds. The title is obviously a take on Rene Magr
The Rainy Season (2016)
The clouds are the audience and the facilitators too, who make and unmake things and events among humans beings.
Storm at Dawn (2017)
I used to have a pet, a cock: white and fluffy. The Grave Philosopher, we used to call him. He used to live quietly in the verandah. We loved each other deeply. But sometimes he leaped the great leap.
Nude 1 (2018)
A left handed venture
Naughty Cats and a Girl (2019)
Michel de Montaigne said, ' When I play with my cat, how do I know she is not playing with me than I with her.'

Only you can help yourself
A million lullabies echoing in my ears
Matador (2023)
Lost, forgotten in a chaotic world
It's staring at you
Some things ought to be sometimes old and worn-out
Faded (2023)
They all sing the same tune in unison.

Broken (2023)
The birds shot me down
Anchorage (2023)
Indecision and restlessness takes several shapes. They shuffle, pause and shimmer. Is there someone somewhere who holds us together? Do we seek some illusive heaven?
