Each of these paintings is a manifestation of an internal journey on paths I have seldom walked. A journey that sometimes finds clarity in chaos and panic in moments of order. At times, a cool silence accompanies the darkness and sometimes one that craves the warmth of light. My mind feels like a crowded city where thoughts constantly nudge each other for space. Sometimes I know there is an internal storm quietly raging while I read a book. It simmers even while I pray. This storm too has passed. And in all this I experienced the best in everything. Strength, hope, love, kindness and a fierce generosity of spirit. This exhibition is dedicated to my mother – my guru, my hero and the most fearless person I know.
