I was curious to know more about the vibrant forms of colours on display in and around my cultural landscape. The working class movement in Kerala, my home state, whose influence no artist could escape, also opened me to the changing notions of what constitute revolutionary politics and its links to ideas of labour. The degeneration of movement in recent times, exemplified by the use of violence to further sectarian interests.

This is in a way a continuation of my last exhibited work, Multitudes a meditation of chaos of our daily living. In Multitudes, a series of acrylic paintings on canvasses and charcoal on paper. I tried to make sense of time and space: to grasp the universal and how it is represented in the personal. The macrocosm and the microcosm to me are part of the same whole, the same dialectic. Each leaves its imprint on the other; the chaos is all encompassing. The witness and the victim are one and the same. As an artist, I look for places that could influence my strokes, my colors.
