The subject I deal with is of grave concern to every living being on this earth. My prime motto is to make people aware of the situation they are knowingly or unknowingly creating in their thirst of modernization. They always forget the essence and necessity of the things that they are losing in the glitzy infrastructural development. They have forgotten that the world would not survive till there is an appropriate balance. My artworks comment on issues such as global warming, deforestation etc. My works are inspired by my idea of how the world should be. As an onlooker I tend to think a lot about it , and have increasingly strated to feel we should all come together to deal with it. The animal figures I use in my works depict detachment - from their habitat. Implying unnatural placement of these endangered animals.
