Every work that I make makes me realise the imperfections and incompleteness of it. One day, I would like to make peace with the imperfections and the incompleteness of my works. I would want to be completely present in the process of creating, enjoying it or feeling the turmoil of it, without being perturbed by the result it produces. Achieving that stage would really be my dream.

These works seek to convey, through a unique visual experience, the portrait of the current times that we are going through. I find the fact that man drew and painted some 60,000 years ago when he had to struggle just to survive extremely hopeful. Thus, though the inherent theme of ‘Portrait of a time’ seeks to explore environmental issues exacerbated by human behaviour and greed, the visual experience of the series retains a meditative quality.

"For Nile - Ballads of Holocene" delves deep into the discordant rhythms and fragmented realities that define city life. It contemplates the paradoxical allure of urban environments, where amidst their inherent harshness and toxicity, there exists a compelling magnetism that draws individuals in.
The artist, shaped by a childhood surrounded by nature juxtaposed with a life lived amidst the bustling energy of cities, grapples with the juxtaposition of these contrasting realms. The artistry, born from dreams, reflections, and memories, takes on a distorted aesthetic, embracing the inherent incompleteness, imperfections, and inescapable transience of human existence.
Through " For Nile - Ballads of Holocene”, viewers are invited to navigate the complex interplay of growth and decay, beauty and brutality that characterizes urban landscapes. It serves as a meditation on the perpetual quest for fleeting moments of hope and joy amidst the relentless march of time. The artist's journey becomes a profound exploration of resilience, adaptability, and the enduring human spirit amid the tumultuous symphony of city life
