Curatorial Note

#1 – ENTROPY-A
The oblivious may be hindered but is rigorously in motion juxtaposed beneath the inertial need of uniformity. But it is only in the phenomenal jerk of events when the unearthed spills and the humanity is caught unequipped. What looks like the force of nature, unhinges the flimsy, we believed to sustain. The prevalent forces are mistakenly thought to be missing until they present themselves once in a long time, in a life time. The artwork is a projection of entropy, the ultimate truth that calls for the very nature of flow, the only way to not break under its force. Much like the present pandemic that it is believed came in to set the incorrect handling of nature.  The buzzing work is engrossing, unwavering and reminds the enormous.

#2 – MERCURIUS
The illusionary could only be a play in the mind of an imaginary sea. The working truth is in the functioning of the perceived form. There’s humongous modelling and remodelling of shaping taking place to the spatial dance. The digital optical-sonic work helps imagine the snake dancing of the spatial bodies under the influence of a mysteriously rhythmic sound of Pungi. The feel is that of riding much to the edge of threshold, in the continued renewal of origination.
