THE SONG

Looking to the horizon,

I saw the intensity of fire

The sky turned into bloody red

The foggy clouds arrived

The smokey rain has fallen over me

Deathly tired,

I hear the song of suffering
‘THE DISTRESS ALLEGORY’

A new chapter opens in world history.
This past year, from March 2020 to the present day May 9, 2021, our situation has changed.
The whole world has been driven into social disaster. Every day thousands of people die.
In my life I have experienced different phases and I hear the song of suffering.

In India, with continuous burning, I saw the sky turn into a bloody red,
the clouds becoming dark and people crying for their closest loved ones.

Deeply tired from seeing this world, I became depressed and fell into anxiety.
My soul cried and my tears turned into a line of art.
I am trying to express our present situation through this series of work.
