    I've been waiting for you since I was born. With the disappearance of the last morning star, at the zenith of the sun and before the finishing ray. I continuously peer into the distance - beyond the horizon, beyond the reality of all existing and still not created in this world, in the beyond material illusions. I know one day you will see me among the billions of screaming phenomena of being. You will understand the true truth of my restraint and rigor. I wait for you, when you for the thousandth time prefer me to the fleeting beauty of a new brightness, eluding with the onset of the first twilight. My creator's hands were full of strength and hope. They endowed me with boundless energy and a will to live. And I patiently wait for you - able to realize the immensity. I am the brightest memory of your youth and the aspirations of all the future days. I believe in you - my Dear Spectator. Your picture. Your destiny, your Way

    What is my most inspirational location, in my city?

    Electric pole with wires in the form of a letter A on the next street. An unremarkable private sector with broken asphalt and rusty garages on the other side of the road. But this is my portal to my cosmos. If you knew how many questions were asked in the void and how many answers have never been received) But I want to believe that the stars that revolve above it are thoughts of hope. They feed on its electricity. And I know each of them in person) And when I start to forget who I am, I go back to him. And I hear the name

    In this work ,I have rearranged the shadow of two figures in three dimensional space and have provided dimension to a flat shadow by choosing some burned woods as medium. With the help of a sound system I have used some chaos. We can't never eliminate shadow and sound from our lives. With the motion of life we come across various thinking, memorys, some events etc. But we can't erase the gist of that events. We carry those till the last day of our life. So, I think here shadow is the gist of everything.

    The Victim’s Hair and The Victor’s Tongue

    This piece is dedicated to those who can or can't identify with or participate in the #MeToo movement. When words aren't enough, art relieves me by cradling my soul with the colors. I wanted to share this by creating an image of a resilient woman emerging from her pain/abuse/trauma/neglect. There's an emphasis on the hair because that is an organic expression of both our genotype (genes) and phenotype (physical identity) that can be altered by the devastating impacts of chronic stress. The snakes from the woman's head  allude to the legend of Medusa, a golden-haired priestess who was raped by Poseidon- an earthquake god- and later punished by Athena. Other accounts say that Medusa and Poseidon were lovers. Upon finding out that the vow of celibacy was broken,  Athena punishes the priestess by turning her golden hair into snakes. Although the snakes are used as a punishment  I appreciate the perspective of artists (such as Yolanda Lopez) that see snakes as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, and rebirth. The "Victor's Tongue" sticking out in this piece alludes to the fierceness unleashed from facing, owning, and respecting our vulnerability and convoluted truths that reside  within our preconscious or unconscious minds. I chose to use the black hues for her tongue because of its inclusive and sometimes overpowering nature.  Her tongue is on fire to represent  the hidden voices that are coming to the light.

    Thumbs up to women! It's time to recognize their true greatness. Women are not just equal to men; they are far superior and have always been. Give a woman anything, and she will make it greater. Give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. Give her a house, she'll give you a home. Give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. Give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. A woman multiplies and magnifies whatever she receives. But beware, if you give her any crap, be prepared to receive a ton of shit! - Erik S Gray
    Meet Dhan Kumari Limboo, an inspiring woman of 53 years from the enchanting village of Yangtee Kabirthang in west Sikkim. She is a progressive and passionate peasant, catering to many members of her family. Through her hard work and dedication, she earns a remarkable fifty to sixty thousand rupees by selling organic vegetables, dairy products, and fruits at the bustling Geyzing hatt.
    Have you ever pondered the immense sweat and daily grind of every woman for her family? It's time to acknowledge their relentless efforts.
    I have chosen to carve out Dhan Kumari's portrait to honor her incredible contributions. This artwork signifies not only the folk culture of our region but also pays tribute to the passionate women in every household and society. They tirelessly work to create a beautiful environment in which we thrive.
    For ages, women have been managing households, effectively handling budgeting, accounts, finance, taxation, purchasing, and human resources. The financial wheels of many households have been guided by the expertise and determination of these incredible women.
    Amidst this, the women street vendors come alive. They work tirelessly to secure their family's livelihoods, steadfastly navigating the intricacies of the financial circuit. It is their stories that inspire me to create this art, showcasing their resilience and strength.
    Join us in celebrating the indomitable spirit of the resilient street vendor. Let's acknowledge the daily grind, sweat, and extraordinary efforts of women everywhere. This is our heartfelt tribute to the unsung heroes, who, through their unwavering dedication, shape the world we live in.
    Power on, women! You are the true driving force of progress and change.
